Regardless of how we currently see ourselves, each of us was made with a unique purpose and something amazing to contribute to the world.
This blog is a place for me to share my own journey – particularly the transition into the “second half of life” and the process of finding hard-won wisdom. My aim is to encourage people like you to uncover what their unique purpose means for them.
Here, I write about self-improvement, the lifelong search for purpose, life, and the complex journey of navigating modern faith and doubt.

With your one wild and precious life?
