Drinking the Kool-Aid

I'm in. I am on the "change is coming" bandwagon. As such, he better f-ing deliver.

With so much talk of change, hope, new beginnings, etc, it was interesting that I was introduced to a new blog this morning that reflected some of those themes. Zoe Westhof is a expat living in Thailand. Her blog is visually appealing and her writing is enjoyable. She is a freelance writer and explores writing, innovation, choice, and change. Topics I love! If you get a chance, check her out and maybe add her to your feeder. http://www.zoewesthof.com/.

The perfect storm is hitting me this week. We have a President-elect whose mantra is change and he radiates hope. I read Zoe's blog this morning on moving forward professionally, and I have been spending the last week or so thinking and planning for 2009 (and how, exactly, I will pay the rent! I LOVE having my own business and my own brand!). The intersection of these events is the opportunity to "come through to the other side" for me. It is time to stop thinking, writing, and planning and time to start doing - much like Obama. The time has come for me (and him) to execute.

So, yes, I drank the Kool-Aid and bought in to him and bought in to me. Today, I will take action. I will sketch the rough draft of my upcoming professional blog and select a host.

What action are you taking today to move forward professionally?
