A new year - new beginnings and new opportunities. What will it bring I wonder?
Some people think that the world will end. But I prefer to take a more optimistic view. Perhaps it will be a year of change.
I'm not going to make any resolutions this year. I think I'll just blow with the wind and see where I end up.
The idea that took seed a few months ago is taking form. Perhaps that would be a good place to start the year.
Happy 2012 everyone!

Shiny New Idea
One word was all it took.
One word in a technical report I was reading at work. The sun was shining outside my office window and my thoughts kept drifting to my children who were spending the day out sailing in the bay. I had to keep dragging my attention back to what I was supposed to be reading.
And then….
One word.
A concept I hadn’t come across before. It leaped out from the page and struck me between the eyes, and I sat for long moments staring at it.
And as I stared a character began to form. She took shape and substance and started to whisper to me, her voice getting louder, more urgent. I think I’ll call her Lisa. And Lisa has a story to tell.
One word and a whole new world grew up around me.
One word.
One day I’ll tell you what that word was.
