Today's #SponsoredSundays post is brought to you by Necky Kayaks and Stohlquist Canada.
When I got my first kayak in high school, I had no idea how much kayaking would mean to me later in life.
After so much illness and so many uncontrollable changes to my physicality and mobility, kayaking has become an activity I cherish.
My blue Necky kayak is a vessel to solace. Although I cannot brave rivers, nor can I paddle for long stretches of time, my days out on a quiet lake always end up being my favourite kind of days (especially if I happen to see a bald eagle and a bunch of hawks or pelicans while I am out).
My Stohlquist Cruiser life vest (newly purchased this year) is the perfect safety feature.
The mesh backing and high-placed floatation allows me to sit back comfortably in my kayak, the various straps offer full size customization, and it even leaves proper room for 'the girls'. (It's a bigger deal than one might think). I feel safe, secure (without upsetting my so very sensitive abdomen), my arms never chafe, and it's light.
So thank you to Necky and Stohlquist (and my Dad, of course) for leading me towards one of the most beloved parts of my life and my constant battle with illness. 💙🎈
*I should mention here that I am not paid nor actually sponsored to write any of these posts. These are all my way of showing gratitude for the positive ways in which specific people and/or products/companies have influenced my life*
I believe that it is even more crucial to take stock of what positively influences us within our struggles as it is to remember and to grieve the parts of our lives which we have lost.
