I am a 40 something year old woman with two incredible daughters that inspire me each and everyday. My background from my Mennonite heritage has influenced and shaped the person I am today. I live in a small town that is close to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I love to blog, read, travel, watch holiday movies, exercise and inspire change through dialogue and experiences. Life has brought me many experiences from a divorce, supporting mental health issues of those close to me, incredible work in healthcare to losing my job of 13 years, to travel, back to school opportunities and receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer. All of these joys and challenges have silver linings that haven’t always been easy to find. My favourite quote is about living the good life “it is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge” B.R. I hope that I can inspire others by my stories and experiences and build hope where there may not be any.
