In 2021, about 6 months into my 50th trip around the sun and in the midst of the COVID-19 world pandemic, I decided to take a job as administrator of a nursing home. A bold choice, perhaps, given the times we\u2019re living in, the challenges long-term care facilities across Canada face, and the fact that I am a Chartered Professional Accountant with no nursing background .<\/p>\n

It was the best choice I ever made. Caring for seniors is meaningful work. My Sweetie says I leave for work happy every day and return even happier.<\/p>\n

A choice like this was not atypical for me.\u00a0 I believe that a carefully curated life is a happy life.<\/p>\n

This blog is about knowing your purpose in life and, from that, curating a life you love.\u00a0 Sorting and sifting through life to eliminate what doesn’t serve you, and to embrace everything that does. Even when it feels a little uncomfortable or out-of-step with the rest of the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This blog is for me, but I am happy to share it with you.<\/p>\n
