About

Hi, I’m Jim. I’m 55, and this is FindMeRaw, where I write about rebuilding a life that didn’t exactly go according to plan.

Here I talk openly about recovery, family estrangement, forgiveness, LGBTQ+ life, bankruptcy, aging, work, and finding your footing again. I share what I’ve learned, what I’m trying, and what doesn’t work. You don’t have to agree with me. Thoughtful criticism is welcome.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to start over, I hope you’ll stay awhile. Read a post, share your perspective, and subscribe free for new stories and updates about my books.
