Slowly, she started to reintegrate herself back into life. Now, she listens to the signs her body gives her. Today she is the Executive Director of the Saskatchewan Pension Plan. She continues to remind herself of the importance of positive thinking, and to not wait until you’re less busy to take care of yourself.
