Thanks for stopping by to get acquainted! My purpose here is to be a “coffee-type” friend. No, not hyper-caffeinated, just companionable. You’ll find fun (okay, “goofy”) stories about my mishap-prone life and menacing appliances. I’ll tell you about books I found to be “Great Weekend Reads.” Bike riding and travel appear often. Sometimes I share insights I’ve gained about life and faith, including true confessions–I don’t claim to be perfect! But it’s not all fun and games. If you’re grieving or confused, I might be able to relate. Basically, I love to connect with readers and listen to what they have to say. You know, like friends do.
Along with wife, mom, and grandma, I’m a writer. I love people’s stories: listening to them, and writing about them. As I write up someone’s story, polishing it up and turning it so all the best facets sparkle in the light, I get to know that person better. And my life becomes richer for it.
Everybody has a story. Many are more exciting than mine, but everybody has a story.
What’s your story?
I’m glad you are coming along for the ride.
Thanks for reading!
Jan

Thanks so much for stopping by my place today. I, too, love listening to peoples’ stories–all part of the one big, really great story. I’ll have to spend some more time digging around here. Is this something you do professionally?

I’d say ditto to most words to describe you except I’m not an avid biker thanks to getting tossed off a horse a few years ago. My knees prefer a stationary bike these days. I’m always delighted to meet people who help preserve other people’s stories, especially those who don’t feel they can do it themselves. There are some fabulous tales out there. Lisakunk
