Starting A New Journey

I've been a horrible blogger over the last 4 years. Yikes! Can't believe that it has been so long. So many exciting things have happened in my life over the last several years. I got re-married (I know...finally), my boys started high school (However did I get this old) and my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer (It has brought my family closeness and support). It has literally been a whirlwind of emotional highs and lows.

Last, but surely not least, I started my MBA in January of 2013. I am now just three short weeks from graduation. It has been such a great experience at the University of Louisville. I have made some incredible, surely, lifelong friends. I have been gifted with some truly excellent teachers and I have discovered so much about myself, my interests and my abilities that it is sometimes stagger to consider.

As part of my final elective, Managing in the Future, I am required to keep a journal for 21 days which reflects on our daily use of technology and aging/longevity. These are poignant subjects for me as I support my children just starting their journey toward adulthood and my parents as they enter retirement. How does technology help us? Where will it take us in the feature? Who benefits? Who gets left behind?

So, I decided, now was a great time to restart my blog and to include my daily reflections. It will be interesting to see how Dr. Irving challenges my thoughts, opinions and biases over the next several weeks. Welcome to the next chapter in my journey.
