Whew ... arrived. Hello blog. I missed you. The last two months have seen me engaged in exciting projects, wading through reports, getting caught up in life turbulences, spending Christmas in Rio (my daughter lives there) and giving training in Mombasa, where I stayed on to visit family and childhood friends. I have had this strong sense of closure and new beginning and it seems to be getting closer. Maybe that's what happens when you start transitioning to fifty. I feel on the edge of myself (expression borrowed from a friend) ... and it hasn't been helped by the US elections and Obama fever, in which I'm completely caught up. My overwhelming sensation at the end of last year was saturation - saturated with emails, information, people, things to do and expectations to meet. It didn't leave enough time for strategic thinking, let alone the important stuff like reflection, creativity, play and love. Among other things, this year I want less and I want the less to be more meaningful. How to balance less with at least the same income will be one of the challenges. Here's to 2009. I know it's going to be a great year.
