Embracing the Journey: Living Your Best Life on Georgian Bay
Embracing the Journey: Living Your Best Life on Georgian Bay
By Ron Neumann & Barb Coxworth
Welcome to Seize the Bay! We’re thrilled to have you join us on this exciting new adventure. As residents of the beautiful Georgian Bay area, we’ve spent years soaking in the breathtaking landscapes, vibrant community, and the tranquil pace of life that North Simcoe offers. Now, we’re eager to share our experiences, insights, and the lessons we’ve learned along the way to help you live your best life here too.
Our Story
We, Ron and Barb, found ourselves drawn to Georgian Bay for many of the same reasons you might be here: the allure of the water, the charm of small-town living, and the promise of a life filled with purpose and joy. Over the years, we’ve navigated the ups and downs of aging, health challenges, and the ever-changing tides of technology and society. Through it all, we’ve discovered that living a healthy, happy life with purpose isn’t just a goal—it’s a journey worth embracing every single day.
Why Seize the Bay?
We created Seize the Bay as a positive space where we can all explore what it truly means to live our best lives as we get older. For us, that means focusing on health, happiness, and purpose. We believe that age is just a number, and there’s no better time than now to invest in ourselves and our community.
The name is a play on the famous phrase “seize the day,” which encourages us to make the most of the present moment. By replacing “day” with “bay,” we connect this timeless advice to our beautiful Georgian Bay community. It’s a call to action for all of us to take an active role in shaping our lives amidst the stunning landscapes and vibrant communities of North Simcoe.
