Portrait of Stephen

Hello. I’m Stephen.

My name is Stephen.

I’m sixty-six years old, I live in Canada, I’ve been married to an amazing woman for nearly four decades, and together we’ve been blessed with a wonderful son.

I’ve spent much of my career working in technology and information security. Along the way I’ve also discovered a love for photography, music, volunteering, and serving my community.

This isn’t a place where someone tells you how to live your life.

There are already enough voices doing that.

Instead, think of this as a conversation.

Imagine we’re walking together on a quiet morning.

Some days we’ll talk about gratitude.

Some days about relationships.

Some days about photography, music, kindness, nature, or faith.

Some days we’ll simply enjoy the silence.

Every day will include one simple idea that almost anyone can do.

Nothing expensive.

Nothing complicated.

No impossible goals. Just one small step that might make today a little better than yesterday.

If one of those ideas encourages you…

If one photograph makes you pause…

If one piece of music brings you peace…

If one reflection helps you see life a little differently…

…then this project has done exactly what I hoped it would do.

Welcome to Keep It Simple, Stephen.

I’m glad you’re here.

Let’s go for a walk.
