Morning has Broken – Marina's song
On Nov. 26, 2008 Janaia Hutzal’s entire life tragically changed; when morning broke her daughter, Marina Jane McQuaig, only eight years old, did not survive the night.
At the time of her daughter's passing, Janaia was going through a divorce, she had not worked outside the home in almost a decade, the stock market was crashing and she had two other children to raise and care for in a city she had yet to call home.
All of this left her asking, “Who am I and how are we going to continue to survive?”
Discovering one’s true essence is the first step to finding the answer to “who." Along her journey, she also rediscovered the honour of truly living and beling “alive” – which also taught her “how."
After over 20 years of seeking, praying, writing and practicing holistic well-being, Janaia has witnessed time and time again the positive effects of maintaining a healthy and aligned mind, body and spirit to create a beautiful and bountiful inner garden or ecosystem.
