When Trevor and I were out test driving the new Now or Never list in Vancouver, we had no idea we were minutes away from a big mystery.

When we asked Now or Never listener Norah Ashmore what she would ask her grandparents if given a chance, she revealed that for decades, her grandmother kept journals recording moments of her life. Some of the entries are over a century old.

Norah's grandmother wrote mainly in cursive but every now and then, there would be entries written completely in shorthand. Norah has never been able to decipher these secret entries, which is where you come in.

Help solve this mystery that is over 100 years old. What was Norah's grandmother trying to say? Was she confessing a romantic love affair, family secrets, devious plans... Or is it just a grocery list? Whatever it is, we are committed to finding the truth with your help. Channel your inner super sleuth (who hopefully knows Pitman shorthand) and send your deciphered messages to us at nowornever@cbc.ca or leave them in a voicemail at 1-844-375-5669.
