Part 1
These 6 pictures below are only a part of my many life journeys. Inside this website are many more — creating a collection of stories which I hope bring some entertainment and enjoyment to your world.
There is a deeper explanation of this in the Part 1 page marker.
The End
Welcome to As It Was Now And Then
This project is about me, my story, my thoughts, and my way of giving something back. At 66, I’ve decided that instead of spending spare hours on hobbies or distractions, I’m putting my time into building this website. It’s part autobiography, part experiment, and part dream — a living book where the past, the present, and the future meet.
Part 1 & The End
Part 1 begins with the first 40 years of my life: real stories, written honestly. The End will continue with the next 40 — where I am now, and where life is heading.
A donation of $50 is required to unlock these chapters. It’s not just a donation — it’s your way of joining the journey. Explore the page markers and you’ll see exactly how your support is used.
Why I’m Doing This
I want to create something transparent and different — where support doesn’t vanish into the unknown, but instead becomes part of a bigger cycle of giving back. This project is my chance to share, to build, and to leave behind something meaningful.
Your Part in It
By supporting this project, you’re helping create a cycle of support, stories, and shared rewards. Every page marker explains how the donations are used, how the Lifeline Tokens work, and how the project gives back. Nothing is hidden — you’ll see where it all goes.
