Reversing the Tide

Ah, Calgary. A city always on the move, growing up and out every day. It demands nothing less than everything you have, and in return gives you fantastic monetary rewards. What of balance and being able to truly enjoy life though? As a native born Calgarian, I've seen the city become more and more dynamic, moving faster than ever before and demanding nothing less than the same from its people. For the longest time, I worked to keep up with it, juggling my time between work, volunteering and still more work. At the time, this worked for me, but the lack of balance and having time to just, well, started to get me down. I traveled all over Canada over a few years and on a visit to Nova Scotia, I found myself met with a province full of great people, beautiful scenery and cities that were dynamic and yet didn't sacrifice the need for balance. A place where I could get things done and still have time to enjoy life when the day was done. That for me was reason enough to go against the flow and make the move.
