The busy 1989s share a common theme as we look for
that magical work-life balance!
Nicole Fisher
commented
that the book
When Breath Becomes Air
shook her up and
reminded her of how short life is. She said, “I’m trying to
balance my life more so that I live each day to its fullest,
having buried my head in work for the last several years!!”
She is off to a good start, as she wrote from a small town
in Thailand while on extended holiday. Her home is still in
Oahu, where she supports youth through internships in
conservation and sustainability.
In Vancouver,
Kim Downey
spends her “spare” time
writing an outline for a novel as she works to fulfil her dream
of writing fiction.
Tanya White
states that “life is pretty
simple” in Austin with a balance of work (market manager),
volunteerism (mentoring young women in startups),
renovating a home (visitors welcome!) and travel (Sweden).

is in Fort Wayne, Indiana in her 10th
year as city attorney. Her son starts kindergarten in the
fall.

group called 100 Women Who Care (Toronto East),
while also freelancing in employee communications and

is now feeling good and strong. She wants us all to get
our mammograms! Besides her busy career and family life,
Sarah has also joined the board of the Havergal Foundation.

travel: three weeks in India, visiting the Taj Mahal, Kerala
and Rishikesh; two weeks in Italy for her mom’s birthday;
and she is heading to Nicaragua for another yoga retreat.

7 and 4). She loves living in Peterborough, fixing up her
house and working as a rehabilitation therapist with
acquired brain injury clients, as well as with seniors.

for eight years, but now commutes to Toronto for her role
