News, determination and hope

I am sorry that I have not blogged in a while.  I was photographing a Leadership Conference yesterday and today and am encouraged to make some changes in my life.  And maybe a blog is part of the changes that need to be made.

One of the speakers was Seth Goden who talks about the changes in our culture and how it effects everything in our lives.  If you are interested in his ideas and blogs, see sethsblog.com or google "Seth Godon".

One of the other speakers that impressed me was Leonard Schlessinger and his call for action when everything is uncertain.  Can today's world, with the economy and all the changes be called anything but uncertain?  A book that you could look up is Action Trumps Everything.  I am looking forward to reading the book.

I guess if there is anything we need now, in today's world and in my world, it is probably leadership.  I feel a paucity of leadership on many levels - from the Federal Government (that is acting more like two war-lord groups fighting over turf) down to the organizations that I work with on a daily basis.  Maybe it is time for all of us, as Seth would assert, to arise and take our place as leaders in the world.

So, challenge me if you don't see a new blog for a while - or if you don't hear about other blogs being tested. Maybe a blog on how to take better photographs. Maybe a blog on being a ditch digger (I'll let you wonder about that one for a while.)
