The Joy of Knowing My Neighbors
May 29, 2026

I love reading our community magazine and learning more about my neighbors. Even when life gets busy, the magazine helps me stay connected to what's going on nearby.
I like reading about local businesses, but I especially look forward to articles with ideas for things I can do on my own or with friends and family.
I appreciate the seasonal tips, like new recipes to try, places to visit, or simple ways to take care of myself.

My experience with Tsawwassen Living team was incredibly positive from start to finish. Authenticity is very important to me, and I truly felt that they honor and maintain that in the way they share stories. The process was thoughtful and well-organized.

What stood out most was their genuine intention to highlight people's journey and create a sense of connection within the community. It wasn't just about publishing a story—it felt like being part of something purposeful and inspiring. I'm grateful for the opportunity and the way they bring local stories to life.

This was a tough interview for me, even though it was nearly 2 years since my husband's death. Many neighbors, friends and acquaintances approached me after receiving the magazine saying what a great article it was. Carole did a fabulous job with the story. She was also very empathetic hearing it.

I hope the story educated my neighbors and community about the horrors of ALS, while also communicating that it takes a village to help a neighbor in need. I was very fortunate.

One recommendation would be for the photographer not to shoot with the sun in the subjects eyes. Many people told me it was a terrible photo of me. Not a big deal to me…I am who I am. Just food for thought.

Rennae, thank you for sharing such a heartfelt reflection and for trusting us with your story. We’re truly grateful for Carole’s compassion and for the conversation your article sparked, which brought your community closer together. We appreciate awareness about the photo lighting and will prioritize gentler shots going forward to respect everyone featured.

Professionalism and class
April 24, 2026

Working with Donnell-Marie Austin at Winterville Neighbors was a true professional experience. She clearly understands what it takes to create a polished, effective advertising piece. In a world where too many are rushing just to close a sale, this was a refreshing change.

Her caring and compassionate demeanor came through in every step of the process, and it was evident in how she represented Best Version Media (BVM). If you're looking for a thoughtful, high-quality approach to community outreach, I highly recommend BVM.

Family Article
April 16, 2026

The team was great to work with, and well presented. The only thing I would like to see improved is that we have to order 20 copies, at $3 each, in order to have a copy of our article. If you are featuring someone, they should at least be given 1 copy. We searched all over to find one, and didn't.

Thank you for the review, Wayne! While extra copies can be ordered, we aim to provide our feature families with at least one copy at no expense. We sincerely apologize that this wasn't the case for you, and we will review our processes to ensure it doesn't happen again.

A Grateful Experience
April 16, 2026

Although I'm not one for posing for photos, they turned out well.
We didn't receive additional copies which is a little unfortunate. I am grateful they shared my story about being judged, stigmatized, misunderstood and "erased" by neighbors in my community for my mental health.

Joseph, it was an honor to share your story with the community. We truly apologize that you didn't receive a copy. We always try to make sure our featured residents receive a few copies as a keepsake. If you haven't done so, please feel free to connect with the local writer or the magazine's Publisher; they may have additional copies available. Thank you for your participation!

Such A Great Experience
April 15, 2026

Feeling incredibly grateful to be featured in Kempsville Living Magazine!

The amount of love from this community has been overwhelming—in the best way. Calls, texts, emails, DMs… y'all showed up.

And apparently the biggest takeaway?
👉 "When did Branson get so big?!" (Same question over here 😅)

One message even called me the new mayor of Kempsville… I don't know about that, but I'll gladly keep showing up and serving this community the best way I know how.

Thank you all for the support, the kind words, and for making Kempsville feel like home—because it truly is.
