Too much to say these days, my mind is in a scattering bunch of tasks and trials.  Less time to think but when I do it often goes to unsettled times. Pondering a bit as I prepare to watch our ballerina Maia perform here in Columbia, SC<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Today I was thinking of that amazing and scary time after Intuit. As I did a little wandering and wondering what was next after 9 years, looking inward, then outward. Am I any more settled now?<\/p>\n

 I was recalling that interesting and a bit crazy day. Christmas Eve 2014 I had nothing to do. Had been in Midtown for an appointment and had that wonderous encounter with George<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I took a risk last July with a new journey and a new company. It’s been full of surprises and a little bit of D\u00e9j\u00e0 vu from my time at Magnet (another startup I helped to grow back in 97).

This journey has me tied up in knots sometimes and I know the best way out is to think of George – I need to just look for good and the way will come through. <\/p>\n
