“There’s no one to blame anymore if things don’t turn out well. There’s no “administration” that won’t let me implement something cool for our department. There’s no lack of ability to control the purse-strings or to delegate the tasks. Now I have to figure out how to be the one to get buy-in. I have to figure out how to take ideas from conception to reality not just in my own little office sphere—but across an entire organization”

But you said it so much better than I would have.

David is right family and self come before work and we'll still be here when you decide to start blogging again.

PS great picture! I bookmarked it and will likely borrow it in the future.

There's your blog focus for the next 2 years

But. Family and self are ALWAYS more important than blogging or speaking. Always. That's good to remember (I'm saying it out loud so I remember to remember it, too).

Nice, thoughtful post about change!
