About me

Introduction My name is Laurie Seel. I live in the Interlake region in Manitoba. Everyday I get to wake up and look onto one of Manitoba's beautiful lakes. I have the most amazing family and friends. My long-time co-workers and valued clients, who have become part of my family, also inspire me. I have a very satisfying career. I count myself lucky. I was recently diagnosed with lung cancer, but I still count myself lucky because I am strong. I can fight this horrible disease. As my daughter's favourite author, Jane Austen, once wrote: "My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.”
