It's been a whole year and I think of you sooo often. Thinking of you, especially today! Hugs to your parents and sister.!
I remember the first time that I met Leanne. It was 2005 about and I was living in Calgary at my boyfriends house (Lance), he told me that one of his good friends was going to be travelling through Calgary and would come for a visit and stay with us while she passed through. It was Leanne and her boyfriend, and they had travelled all the way from Montreal.
When I first saw Leanne; I remember, I was mesmerized by her beauty and the light that radiated from her soul. She was so intruiging to watch, and I caught myself staring at her. You could actually see her aura ,a beautiful blue white purple energy that made me feel so at peace. We instantly connected. Like one of those people who you just meet, but feel like you have known forever. She was so confident and funny. And moved with such agility she floated.
To this day I wonder if Leanne always more than the physical form that confines you and I. I sometimes question if she was always an angel. I never quite understood, and I probably never will... but Leanne has such a warm comforting energy that makes you feel content. She never entered my home without bearing a gift. Never one to judge; understanding of all. I miss you Leanne, but then I realize you are right beside me. Such a mysterious guiding energy.
Thank you for having my back and for being my beautiful gaurdian angel. I miss you in the physical form (our nature walks, hikes, hysterical laughing, singing, wine drinking, and tea healing) you were my first friend in Victoria, and I miss you like crazy. Can't wait to dance free with you again, in all of our wild beauty
This water colour painting was done by Leanne.'s wonderful friend Alisin after Leanne passed. It shows an amazing talent that still prevails in time of mounting and distress.
It hangs in our home to serve as a reminder of the values of support unconditional love and the need to advocate for people with mental health needs of all levels. The focus being advocacy and a venue for music and art therapy throughout communities.
Copies will be available later in a variety of techniques .Some in limited editions.
The profits will be for a non profit in Leanne's name and in accordance with Leanne's
dreams and wishes.
I will follow-up with you once we have finalized the first gala fundraiser to kick off her foundation. The timing will be as close to July 10 as possible.
As a family it will be a huge honor and privilege to work with artisans on this project
