Springing to Life

New month. New ventures. Very excited.

Thanks everyone for all the support and well wishes about this site. It has been a long time coming. Not only did I get off my procrastinating butt and over came my tech fears to create this blog, today is also the official launch of My Sister’s Closet Online Store.

Since moving here, I have had the intention to start my blog and find an organization to support. Serendipitously, both intentions sprung to life at the same time, today.

In February, I wandered over to one of my favourite restaurants around the corner from the Gastown apartment and saddled up to the bar. The moment I walked in, a warm and friendly face smiled at me. Something about this woman clicked with me. Ever get that feeling like you know each other but you know that you definitely don’t? She was without a doubt a kindred spirit.

Long story short, turns out she is the Executive Director of the Battered Women’s Support Services (BWSS). After a whole lot of food and drink and great conversation, I knew I had found an organization to support. Since then, I have been working with her wonderful team, in whatever way I can, to launch their Shopify site.

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with them. It has also been my saving grace. This past month has been hard for my Other Half and myself. the barrage of bullshit has taken its toll and I have been walking around self-identifying as woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Not sure how much more my nervous system can take but volunteering with BWSS has helped me stay sane. So grateful for the work they do and for giving me an avenue to escape the boobs and botox madness.

Really hope everyone enjoys this site and My Sister’s Closet Online Store. My hope and prayer is that people with share with those they know so both can be successful. Lord knows I need a bigger soap box. LOL.
