From Russia With Love

A couple of years ago I received a wonderful package from Russia
from a wonderful woman named Tatyana Grigoreva . She was someone who
came across the Howell family when Dara Howell she was competing at Sochi Olympics in 2014, and came home with a gold medal for slope style skiing.

She was so taken with the Canadians and somehow she stumbled across me
and the work that I do with Love Your Life to Death and she so kindly sent me a package  a few years ago with all kinds of gifts from Russia. This reminds me
that friendship knows no borders. We should never judge people for where they live, the color of their skin or the language they speak. Love is love.
You can love people and have friendships from all over the world.

I have just recently received another package from Tatyana. Christmas presents!
Handmade gifts! Colorful doilies and pillows and gorgeous socks, there’s
cards and pictures and a letter written in Russian and translated into English.

I just so appreciate this Tatyana, thank you. I love having a friend in Russia and
I think that someday we should meet in person! Thank you for reaching out all
the way to Canada and for opening your heart. All of these gifts mean so much,
and this is a great reminder to everyone else that love and friendship knows
no borders. Something to always remember.
