A Fresh (Re)boot

Finally, the old blog is migrated to its new home, and with it comes a fresh start.  I first started blogging when I was pondering where I wanted to go with my career.  Working in a high-stress job up to 70 hours a week was burning me out.  The blog was a way for me to set aside time to appreciate inspiring and interesting ideas.  It kept me sane, and at times was my life preserver.  Case in point: my GRACIOUS DISAPPOINTMENTS entry unknowingly prepared me for one of the worst days I’ve ever experienced at work.  Had I not written that blog post, I would have reacted very differently (and negatively) to what happened.  For that, I’m very grateful.  

Today, I’m worlds away from that time of my life.  I am working a portfolio career comprised of my favorite activities: research/writing, consulting, teaching/speaking, and creative pursuits.  My purpose for blogging now is different.  While still good for the soul, it is also a way to interact with the world.  I will not only continue to share inspiring ideas, but will also expand my coverage to include my personal experiences, people and organizations I encounter, and some ideas of my own.  I’ve got a running list of upcoming topics to write about, so there’s lots more to come.  Stay tuned!
