I am your host John Knox.  I am thankful for your involvement in my life.    Over the years I have had the opportunity to interview some of you.  It has been a great honour.  My perspective on life continues to deepen as I meet you..  Be encouraged, your story matters it should not be lost.  You need to be heard and connected with.  Your stories lead people to you.   These people you may meet will likely be already known to you.  They may be simply unaware of your value to them.  They may  be from your family or from a community that you are presently involved with.   When you share your story on the Sharing Life Podcast you take a first step in preserving your story and    connecting with your community using media.  I see value and joy in my continuing this practice.   I look forward to connecting with you as an interviewee on the  issues of your life, hobbies, studies, stories, community, and more.  We would also be glad to hear about the books that you’re reading.  Sharing Life podcast exists to nurture receptivity to mature & senior adults & their stories through media exposure.
