so, almost a year after i set-up this blog, it seems i'm ready to write my first post. i'm having one of those days, where i can't quite focus, but feel contented to wander along. my journey this morning led me to http://www.ted.com/, where i was inspired by sir ken robinson speaking about creativity and majora carter on sustainable south bronx. wow. what amazing insights and actions. and so today, i find myself wondering where my wanderings will lead. more and more, my work seems to take me into the realm of "public engagement". i'm not sure quite what that means for me yet - but i have a notion that i can be part of helping to inform, engage and connect people to do some good work together. for me, for now, this work centers around our schools...but i wonder, how is it that we find our work, or is it that our work find us?

Interesting question, Dawn! I think, like all things, it is a little bit of both. My guess is that many opportunities are presented to us throughout our lives but we only see the ones that "speak" to us on some level. I think that often we can end up on a path that speaks less than others because of societal pressures. It is interesting though to think that 2 people could be presented with the same opportunity & one person sees it & the other doesn't. Then the person who sees it needs to decide what path to follow. Another step in the journey to being authentic and intentional.
So, I need to get my authentic, intentional butt in gear! Thanks for setting up this blog...I say we keep it going!
