This month’s best

Stephanie Gilman’s “New Calling” [#lifereboot, June 2015] made a lasting impression on me. As both a recent graduate beginning my career and the daughter of a woman who faced cancer, I was struck by the powerful messages Stephanie shared: In a way, life is always short, with or without illness as a guiding force. Stephanie reminded me that it is so important to find true fulfillment in your life, and, given the time we invest, where we work is particularly important. I will keep her story in mind throughout my career. Her decision to search for jobs that “bring joy and purpose into [her] life” is something I will not forget! Thank you to Stephanie for sharing her experiences and to ELLE Canada for featuring these stories.
