HELPING FAMILIES IN TRANSITION

BB25-41. Norm Wolf, Not Just Numbers

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Norm Wolf, on air from Ocvtober 14th

I am Norm Wolf. I have a passion for business.  I started my business life at the age of 10 years old when I would sit in front of my grandfather’s confectionery in front of the Stampede Grounds in Calgary selling pop to people walking to and from the Stampede.

At New Heights Accounting, we believe that a “one size fits all” solution is not good for all of our clients.  Depending on YOUR situation, your accounting requirements are going to be different than those of other people.  We will take the time to tailor a program to fit your accounting needs and budget. We will not do more than that you actually require.  If the only requirement is to produce your tax return (be it a personal or corporation) then that is what we will do; why pay for a set of Financial Statements if you will not use them?

My Wife and I were accountants in Calgary, it was getting time close to when I was considering retirement and wanted a change of place.  My wife was not ready for the retirement life and wanted to open her own accounting firm.  We decided to move west to BC, and we wanted to near a large body of water.  The first location on our list was the Okanagan, but my wife hated the area as it was too much desert.  The next location was Vancouver but that’s way too expensive for us, the next area was Vancouver Island.  She wanted Victoria and I didn’t want to move to an area where there was a lot of traffic, and she wanted someplace with a good hospital and transportation.  Since I had been to the Island many times, we finally settled on Nanaimo.  Without any public practice management experience, we opened our public accounting firm, but with my 45 plus years of experience in business and with my Master’s degree in Business and Anna’s CPA we opened our firm with a theme of “we want to partner in our client’s success, which is the driving force behind our firm.

One of the main themes that I use in my business life is “Accounting is more than just the numbers, it is the people behind the numbers.”

IG25-40 Margie Goldsmith on Becoming a Badass

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite Your Heart and Soul with Sara Troy and her guest Margie Goldsmith, on air from October 7th

In her new memoir, Becoming a Badass: From Fearful to Fierce Margie is a testament to the adage “no one is going to make your life for you.” 
Her story is one of adventure and resilience. It’s about living life on your terms and living it fearlessly. She speaks to anyone  looking to overcome a sense of powerlessness in any given situation, whether that’s a dysfunctional family, a marriage/relationship, or a career, and to anyone who has ever felt “less than.”

Coming from a family marked by deep struggles—her father’s suicide, incest, a sister battling schizophrenia, and parents coping with manic depression and alcoholism—her early life shaped much of who she became. After college, she moved to Paris, where she lived a glamorous life and married a blacklisted film director. Her passion for travel soon blossomed, leading her to become a travel writer who has explored 150 countries across seven continents, from Uganda, The Marquesas, South Korea, Laos, and Cambodia to Oman, Cuba, Tibet, Nepal, Borneo, Mauritius, Papua New Guinea, Easter Island, Croatia, Namibia, the Arctic, and Antarctica. The Outward Bound program also transformed her path, fueling her love of physical challenges: she has completed marathons and Olympic-distance triathlons, summited Mount Rainier, and climbed to Advanced Base Camp on The North Face of Mount Everest. Adding music to her many adventures, she learned to play the harmonica and even recorded two albums with America’s most award-winning blues band. Her resilience shines brightest in her survival of stage four pancreatic cancer and later, lung cancer—proving again and again her extraordinary strength and will to live fully.

25-40. Gift of Another Year

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from October 7th

Well, when this show airs, I’ll have just turned seventy-one, the big 71, entering my seventh decade. It’s just a number, really, one that’s shaped more by attitude than years. Still, considering my father died at forty-five and others I’ve known have left this world far too early, I see each birthday as a privilege. I’ve survived another year, and I hope to see many more ahead.

As I look back across these seven decades, at all I’ve done, where I’ve been, what I’ve achieved, and even the “why did I do that” moments , I carry forward the good memories and leave the rest behind. Life is full, and I am blessed. My days are busy with podcasting, sharing extraordinary stories from around the world, and now, as a grandmother awaiting the birth of another grandchild, my heart is full of love and anticipation. Between the shows, the babies, and the books, my schedule is bursting, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Turning another year older only deepens my gratitude. I’ve signed a contract with the universe to keep doing this work for as long as I can see, hear, and talk, hopefully well into my nineties! The universe, of course, has its own plans, but I follow its guidance with joy. I’m proud of the books I’ve helped bring into the world — Our Forgotten Children, Liberate Your True Self, The Discovery of Self, and the next, Our Forgotten Seniors. Each one carries stories of wisdom, courage, and hope.

Age, I’ve learned, isn’t a decline; it’s an accumulation of knowledge, of grace, of purpose. The aches and pains come, but passion fuels me past them. I find inspiration in people in their sixties, seventies, eighties, even nineties, still living their dreams, still shining their light. They remind me that joy and purpose are the true youth elixirs.

So, don’t let age or limitations stop you. Share your story, your lessons, your laughter. Listen to your body, honor your energy, and live from the inside out. Let your wisdom serve others. Growing older is not something to fear, it’s something to celebrate. It’s a privilege to be here, to love, to create, to witness new generations rise, and to still have dreams that call us forward.

To everyone out there, whether it’s your birthday or simply another beautiful day, remember that every sunrise is a new birth, a new beginning. Live it fully, love it deeply, and keep sharing your light with the world.
