This is the sort of Blog
when I start off cold
having no clue
as to what the next
letter
word
sentence
paragraph
da de da
will be ...............

Feelings a good place to start.
Feeling pretty good.
Busier I am
better I am.

I feel good.
A bit drained today.
Recovered catching up at home
still not attacked my inbox
my backlog
please don't think I forget you
I have streaming in my head
streaming humans
you are there
but I never seem to get back to you.
Must download a new brain.

Five words to describe my life at the moment
(and hope it will trigger yours?)
Buzzing
Touched
Blessed
Un-strategic
Beyond

I always buzz from being amongst
caterpillars becoming butterflies.
When I see humans stepping onwards.
Especially when they have been served crap.
Dished out from adult around them.
Not necessarily deliberately.
Usually they have inadequate recourses
to bring to being successful parents.
So the kids get crap.
No solid role models.
Little emotional security.
Few tools provided during childhood apprenticeship
leaving them badly tooled up to mend life themselves.

I am also inspired by being amongst butterflies.
Those humans flying.
reaching wondrous potential.
Seeking life,
and not just for self.
Striding to the edge
yearning
becoming ..........

So feelings are positive.
But now I need to
Refocus.
Prioritise.
Plan.
Proactive.
Do the right things.

When I was a CEO
and before that
as a leader of teams,
(I have been in
four key projects in my life
as a leader),
I had these priorities::
People
Purpose
Process.

I still want to hold them
tightly to my chest.

Maybe I need to share my planning with you.
Share my vulnerabilities
and my efforts, and failures, as I work for change.

Last week I tried to do a themed series of blogs
all about
YOU
or
YOURS.


I felt I was being
more provocative
more direct
dishing some stuff.

I must google my soul again
dish up some more
and it will be in a book forthcoming .....
