This month’s best

It must be fate. Faced with a long TTC commute, I picked up an ELLE Canada and immediately opened it to the article “Tales From an Adventuress” [ELLE Special, May 2015]. I loved it. A serendipitous purchase indeed: My own life is going to be very different in the year ahead (a big birthday, older children), and, like the writer, I am sensing the imperative for change and a new direction after more than a decade of intense parenting. And then I noticed the writer’s name—Carol Devine is my neighbour! How lovely to stumble upon something so inspirational so close to home. Sydney Stoyan, toronto
