I mentioned earlier this week that I’m reading Brandi Carlile’s memoir, Broken Horses. Naturally, I’ve had her full catalog playing which led to her album, The Story, and its title track1, playing, which opens:
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true, I was made for you
Forgive me while I take some poetic license and expand it to mean that each of us, and our individual stories, were meant for each other. So tell us, what’s your story? We’d love to learn a bit about our the members of the community.

Interestingly, it was written by her band mates, the Hanseroth Twins, before they formed a band with Ms. Carlile. More interestingly, should Brandi Carlile ever leave the band, the Hanseroth Twins could still tour under the name “Brandi Carlile”.
Always searching - for new meaning, new friends, new passions, new ideas, new places. I’ve had 4 types of jobs and have lived in 4 different cities since I graduated college in 2013. To me, soul searching = growth.
Like you Jeremy, I believe in the power of community and inspiration. Small comments and short conversations have changed my life.
Now I live in Denver with my fiancé, and I’m blessed with all the love I could ever imagine. I’m still searching, however, for how I can continue to grow and be a better man.
Man - that prompt covers all manner of sin... I think my story is I'm a dad, a husband, and a reformed careerist focussed on owning as much of my time as possible.
I'll go first. Good morning from New York! I'm Jeremy. I'm a husband to one, a father of two girls named after towns in California. I'm a completer of streaks and I tend to say yes. I prefer sunrises to sunsets. I desperately miss live music and traveling with my family, two things I'm looking forward to doing this summer. I'm not a great writer. Heck, I'm not even a writer. I'm a math guy who can't add two numbers in his head who ended up in sales.
I believe in the power of community, the truth of accountability and the beauty of encouragement. I believe that we can all be better men. That's why I'm here.

Also - I really miss live music too.
