I am always fascinated with the vibrancy and deep passion people have when sharing stories involving their families, friends and extended family. This personal storytelling weaves together the inherent connections we all have when we bump up against others, different perspectives, life experiences and the daily ups and downs of everyday life. The shared experiences of others enrich and gently guide our own paths in this life and help us to grow.
The inspiration for this blog comes from how deeply I’ve been touched by the stories of others in my life and especially by our own personal story over the last years, and specifically in the last year, with our daughter. With the beginning of our family, a new set of experiences, reflections, future hopes and vivid “ah-ha” moments have surfaced. We have appreciated that in becoming parents, we have become beginners in this world again- seeing and making sense of our own experiences through new sets of eyes.
Our family is currently Melisa, Jason and Lucy, our 1 year old daughter. We will also be welcoming 2 more bundles of joy (twins!)- two more girls they tell us- in July or August. We will start writing from now, but first, a brief history of where this all started.
