Every month or so I take a stab at updating and up-BHAGing my goals. I’ve recently decided that ambitious in the new attainable, so I’m setting these bad boys big! This time around I’ve decided to post them online, so I have a time-stamped and public record of what I want out of life. Call me crazy, but here goes!

My Vision of my life at age: 36

Jake and I are living in a big old house in the Beaches neighborhood of Toronto. He is the CIO at Blast Radius and I am the Vice President of Identity for the Hudson’s Bay Company.

I am happy, active, inspired, and challenged daily. Weekends are spent with family and friends – eating brunch, going on adventurous photowalks and hosting lively dinner parties. I practice hot yoga each morning at a studio by the beach and explore the city on my runs in the evening.
