…I Have an announcement

The gift of persistence is emerging in this corner. Giving oneself to these tasks: maintaining a blog, being active on social media outposts, reading and commenting on a variety of other blogs…all that can add up to a pretty big time commitment. And the question that emerges for many is “what do any of us get out of it?”

Yes, there’s some cash to be made through a variety of strategies. Yes, there’s networking to build up one’s business. But neither of of these keep me moving forward. For me it comes down to one word.

Discovery

I’m amazed by the community of people I’ve met through this practice. I’m amazed by how my purpose here has been clarified through all the different interactions. As my ideas continue to be tested, my understanding of the challenges of communication keeps growing. Not a week goes by where I do not engage someone new in a rewarding way. Not a day goes by where I do not learn something.

Persistence has refined my intent to a laser point. I know exactly now where I need to direct my energies if I am to have any real efficacy. And it would not have been possible without you.

So to all of you, a heartfelt thanks you.

I think that persistence is definitely the key. I cannot be all about money or your readers will see that. I have spent over 4,000 hours and 2 years on my main site that was ruined by a dishonest web guy. I still will not give up. I have decided to keep going with it in a different direction. Don't give up on yourself or your dreams!!!

And a heartfelt thank you to you too. You have encouraged me to look deeper into my soul and thought processes to consider the possibilities within.

Hi Richard,
Connecting with you has been one of the best rewards of social media. I hope you'll do another post letting us know how you've decided to direct your energies. That sounded both intriguing and ominous.

Hi Mary-Frances,
Funny, but I'm a little superstitious about intentionality...see my post from last fall : firing intention...the poet Charles Olson said: what ever you do, don't tell people what you are doing. I've drained away so many projects by talking about them instead of doing them that I'm rather cautious...

Interacting with you in this unique way refreshes an important aspect of soul. Unique way -- as intimate as a partner I wake up with and easy to moderate as a radio. And your words care for me.

Thank you
