Our story:  “My wife and I both worked in offices in Toronto but lived in Mississauga and we found that spending so much time in traffic was draining the romance right out of our relationship.  We knew something had to change, and what with our kids away to university, we knew the time was right.  So we found a piece of land that came with small farm house in Prince Edward County made arrangements with our employers so we can work from there. We built a chicken coop for our Bantam chickens and bought a pickup truck – as you can see.”

My story: I love what I do. I’m the associate editor for one of the world’s leading woman’s fashion magazines and work out of Boulder Colorado. Why? Because I love to write and I love fashion, except on Sundays when I give myself permission to wear sweatpants all day.

“I report to a very demanding and successful woman who essentially is the brand. Blackstar’s Buzz blend is total kick ass that keeps me going for hours on end – like my take no prisoners boss!”

I sold my home in the city, bought a less expensive but charming century-old home outside of High River, that came with a horse and 10 acres. I now spend my mornings day-trading with the savings from selling my home and bring in the occasional Airbnb guest for some extra dollars and the company. I love my life now.  Time stands still for no one.
