When I started this site, I thought I would read a book and write my thoughts on it and it would be a piece of cake.  I was wrong on so many levels.  It is hard for me to write when I think about somebody reading my thoughts.  Let’s be honest, who cares what I think in general, let alone my thoughts on a book that somebody else wrote?  I recently saw something that changed my perspective….write for myself.  As I am writing this I know that nobody has even stumbled across this page, so I will remind myself that I am doing this for me…not for anybody else.  Shortly after I created this website my mom passed away unexpectedly.  I was not prepared for losing my mom….how can anybody really prepare for that.  My mom was only 65 and eventhough she wasn’t in the best of health, she was still too young.  I am too young to be without my mom.  I am only 40 so I think about if I live a long and healthy life, I could very well live more of my life without my mom than with her.   That thought alone has been very overwhelming.

When my mom passed I sort of lost focus for a while and stopped reading the “Innovator’s Mindset.”  It wasn’t anything deliberate, it just happened and I didn’t even realize it.  It wasn’t until I attended iPadpalooza in Austin that I was re-invigorated.  It also didn’t hurt that George Couros was there.  So here I am, hopefully able to pick up where I left off.  I need to get going though because I have added some other books to my reading list.  It is summer right now so I have some time, but in just a few short weeks life will get crazy again.

I make no promises, but I am trying to commit to myself that I wll make this blog a focus.  We will see what happens….
