  • I can see it as I drive onward, a giant arched passage, and suddenly a feeling rushes through my body. A feeling that cannot be described with words. It is like I am entering a whole new world, a world where dreams can become reality. A place I never want to leave. And, as I drive over that last rise and see that world come into view, I feel something that I only feel here... a surge of joy...such a rare feeling for me. The contrast of the beautiful green and red soil fields meeting the blue sky... artwork only God could create. What a treat for my eyes. I stop and watch horses in a pasture and feel wonderful memories of what I once had. A past where moments that bring me such pleasure are now scant. Memories of confidence and freedom. Nobody is in a hurry here. Relax...take your time. Breathe in the scent of red mud mixed with salt air. This is a land with family and friends that give me a feeling of belonging and importance. Freedom to be myself. Now it is time to leave and it hits me. What if I never get back here.... what if this is my last visit...what if...what if? Feelings of sadness, depression.... tears run down my face. Out of my control. I don't want to leave this home....ever.

  • Music! Everyone I've met since I moved here plays instruments and/or sings. Whether it's a kitchen party, or one of PEI's awesome bands, this province seems more musically talented than others.

  • PEI is the most beautiful place I've ever been to in the world. Its unique because our air is clean, grass is truly green and our soil is the darkest red. Our beaches have the cleanest sand and brightest colors. Our Island is the best.

  • The Heart of the Island is it's people...kind,gentle, welcoming,friendly people who make you feel like you are family. The Heart of the Island is what touches your senses..the sights like contrasting colors of the red soil,green crops,blue skies, white sand and blue/green water. The feel of the sand between your toes and the constant gentle breezes against your skin. The sound of the waves hitting the shore,the birds singing,the happy people. The tastes of the local harvest and catch that are plentiful in the many great restaurants or your family or friends homes. The Heart of the Island is that Ahhhhh feeling of relaxation that you get as soon as you catch a glimpse of the red Island soil from the bridge or ferry. It's Heaven on Earth.
