She is currently working on another non-fiction account about her experiences in Mexico and the town that she owns property and lives in with her partner for part of every Canadian winter.

“When I was teaching creative writing to adults, I would bring up Dickens’ Scrooge and ask the question, is it possible for a person to change overnight? These thoughts and reflections and my career as a Human Resources Professional, combined with my own journey, was a starting point to figuring out how people make positive changes that stick. When you know the ingredients of how people move from survival to what I call thrival, you can get the support to put it in action.”
