In 1992, I had the opportunity to interview for the position of Community Disability Worker at Southern Alberta Community Living Association (SACLA). At just 19 years old, with a year of college behind me, it marked my very first step into the career I had chosen. Sue Manery conducted the interview, and I was immediately drawn to her warmth and sincerity. Throughout the interview, she patiently encouraged me to expand on my answers, allowing me to express my personal values regarding the inclusion of people with developmental disabilities in our community.

Back in 1992, individuals with developmental disabilities were still striving to find their place in roles that many of us take for granted today: employee, volunteer, consumer, college student,…

As a realtor, there's a heartbeat to my business that pulses with the trust and support of friends, family and past clients.

I absolutely adore YouTube! It's my go-to platform for inspiration and entertainment. From captivating design channels to thrilling home renovation videos and design trends, there's just so much to explore and discover. Witnessing the creativity and innovation in people's spaces never fails to ignite a spark of inspiration within me.

What truly fascinates me is the diversity of styles and personalities showcased on these channels. Some designers inject humor and irreverence into their personal style, while others fearlessly critique what they love and dislike. Yet, amidst all the excitement, I can't help but feel a twinge of concern.

Let's face it, trends come and go like the wind, but the cost of recreating these trendy spaces can be staggering.…

Wow, what a whirlwind it has been! The past week has been a rollercoaster of excitement, nerves, and a whole lot of learning. As I sit down to reflect on my first steps into the world of real estate, I can't help but feel a mix of emotions – overwhelmed, exhilarated, and yes, a tad clumsy too.

I did it—finally!
Words can't express the incredible feeling of achieving my real estate license. This journey began over a year ago, but I encountered some unexpected roadblocks. Believe it or not, my marriage from 30 years ago wasn't registered with the government, leading to over 6 months of sorting it out to prove my name (and existence) to the Real Estate Council.

As with most life stories, my arrival at this point involved numerous twists and turns. I consider myself fortunate to have met Wendy and joined Stage Right. Working with Wendy and engaging in home staging were some of the most fulfilling years of my life! It served as my introduction to the real estate world in a supportive role. The collaborative and creative work, coupled with the…
