Thanks for the email messages and phone calls. A cupla nights ago I sat in my study pondering my next move. What I decided was to take a profound and life altering approach to value creation. I'll tell you more about that in an upcoming post. For now just know that I am back online after taking over a year off. I went into a semi-retirement mode for about 10 months and really did find what I want to do with my life. I realized that I have been so blessed and fortunate for so many years and that I need to pay that forward in a big way. I realized that my contributions "Gives" did not outweigh my blessings "Gets" and therefore I need to give back more. So, this blog is part of a grand plan. I invite and encourage you to become a part of this adventure with me.
