Welcome to NB Voices. We are glad you are here.
Your story matters. NB Voices is here to help you share your personal narrative and reflect on different times of your life.
You can share stories of joy or about tougher times. Share your hopes and aspirations, or what it means to have strength to carry on.
Share with us about the importance of family, friends, volunteering, or the pleasure of learning something new.
Through documenting and sharing our voices we help generate true wellness and understanding in our communities.
"Stories are central to our sense of identity as individuals, maybe all the more so as we age.
The stories we tell about our lives are, in several respects, who we are.
Storytelling - and storylistening - plays a central role in our sense of community as well.
Listening respectfully to one another as we share stories about our lives is a key way of caring for one another.
"Narrative care", as it could be called, is core care because it goes to the heart - le coeur - of our being."
Dr. William L. Randall, Professor of Gerontology, St. Thomas University

"Being able to see your life as a story can be very helpful, healing, and freeing in many circumstances. Your life story is a rich source of what is meaningful to you—your ordinary wisdom— that we all possess. And, because it is a story, we are able to change the meaning of a past story and restory it in the present towards more meaning and even peace or stillness. Even more than this, since we are all on the same human journey, we can share our station stops and be there with each other. Realizing that we are not alone and reaching out can be seen as a very important gift of our present world situation."
