I have a to do list. I suspect most of you do too. I also suspect most of you have a couple of items on your to do list that keep getting magically pushed forward to tomorrow. And then tomorrow again. And then maybe next week. For me, a major item on my to do list has been to launch a website which includes a daily blog, some information about me, and thoughts about what I can do for you.
I’ve been blogging since 2002, but I’ve recently taken an extended vacation from this activity. That blog was more personal in nature – thoughts about my friends and family (i.e., rants about my mother), life as a parent, politics, the strange and wonderful place I live called Texas, and the like. As my working life has become more and more about online content and consulting, I’ve thought often about creating a more “professional” blog, but when I actually tried to imagine what this blog would be about, I got stuck. This morning a little voice in my head said: just write it. (Actually, it said something more like, “just write it, dumbass.”)
Maybe, JUST MAYBE, it’s better to get something out there and keep improving on it, than to stay stuck in my little mouse hole, peering up at the dark sky, waiting for the perfect alignment of the planets. Maybe.
