A number of years ago I started this blog as a way to deal with my anxiety over turning 40. I called that blog findingmeatforty. Now approaching 45, I have never felt more firmly entrenched in the second half of life.
I am a born and bred Winnipeger, married with an adopted son from Ukraine, a chronic skeptic who is also a person of faith, and a lover of story, I consider myself a work in progress, and my hope is for this site to continue to capture both the stories that make me who I am, be it persons I meet, places I visit, films I watch, reflections i have, or books I read. This since rebranded site (thestoriesofmylife) functions both as a place to post current musings on the things that inspire me and to continue to invest in a larger project I hope to one gray complete- writing the story of my life.
This site is first and foremost for me, no expectations. Given that it is in a public space, which is to hold me accountable to this ongoing exercise, I am deeply grateful and thrilled for all who join me on this journey through reading, dialoguing or sharing their own stories over the coming years. Here’s to embracing the second half of life with vigour.
