@simple_online_system I’m starting to realise I don’t necessarily want to retire. I still want to earn. I still want to be useful. I still want something to get up for. I just don’t want WORK deciding how I spend five days out of every seven. Maybe what I really want is control of my time. […]
Dear Canada, I felt compelled to make something. To stick up for, and to honour. To show our strength, beauty, genius, empathy, light & heart.
