Living The Perfectly Imperfect Life.

Real stories. Real Life.

Observations and hard-earned lessons about finding meaning, purpose, faith, and significance in a life that didn’t always go according to plan. Welcome in…pull up a chair.

A story was being written.

For years, I thought the different parts of my life were separate stories. Photography. Business. Marriage. Divorce. Family. Faith. Success. Failure. Starting over. Friends. Children. Grandchildren. Unexpected detours and second chances.

Looking back, a different picture emerged.

Significance is not achieved.
It is
stewarded.

Success matters. Achievement matters.

But eventually most people begin asking deeper questions.

— Does my life matter?

— Am I making a difference?

— What am I doing with what I've been given?

I am not the owner of my story. I am the steward of it. And so are you.

A few ideas that shape everything.

Life often makes more sense looking backward than forward.

A Story Was Being Written

What we do with what we've been given matters.

Significance Is Stewarded

Growth, healing, and purpose often begin before the path is fully clear.
