Why gratitude is important to me
We all get busy. Being parents, being part of a family, working, taking care of the house, I could go on. I am fortunate to know Steve. His presence is a good reminder to take the time to be grateful for the family we enjoy, the place we live, our lifestyle and the connections we have. Without that presence, I can get focused on the to do list and the things as opposed to what really matters.
I work in the food industry. We all have to eat. Regardless of what is happening in the world, we do have to eat. Starting at a store, I learned the importance of listening to consumers and the challenges of retail. I worked with Canada’s largest food retailer, Loblaw’s, for nearly twenty years.I was fortunate to get experience in various departments, including merchandising, marketing and advertising.
In 2007, I started a company to support producers, processors and retailers across Canada. SKUFood works directly with producers and processors to help them understand their customers the retailers.

Systems
It's reassuring to have systems that enable me to be more present, to worry less, to feel more confident, and more. Some are hard-wired processes, some are agreements, some are personal policies (yes, I have personal policies) - regardless, they provide freedom and direction.
Today I’m grateful for:
a complex backend to my business that I often take for granted
the professors back at SMU and TUNS who laid the groundwork for an engineering mindset that has shaped problem solving in my life
the easy access to AI - and it's ability to identify patterns and build systems I'd never have thought of
What systems are you grateful for today ?
Have a fantastic weekend !
