Announcements!

First of all, we've broken a record. At 160 posts, the most posts in a month, this nearly laps the previous high number of 87, from March, 2008--the month I left my job and went to Europe for no particular reason, outside of the fact I could. The next closest was the 80 of November, 2004, the most poetic time of my life, the month of dramatic rainstorms and a raging pool of inner poetry. I locked myself in my room after work every night, playing guitar by candlelight as the wind whipped the rain through the open patio door. That was also the year a woman fell in love with me.

This tells me August was quite an inspired month. That tells me Fall will be quite a season.

Team. We are on the brink of something exciting. Those with your eyes open have found plenty of evidence of something more going on behind the scenes. Management was automated for a while, but now there is more conscious leadership. Now is a time of celebration, but soon will be a time of great concentration and effort, but hard-earned rewards. Have faith. Everything will be something gained. Look for it. Find the positive benefit in every moment, situation, interaction or purpose, focus on it and move forward. We are building something right now, and you are all very important.
