Don’t give them what they want. Give them what they never dreamed was possible.*
(Orson Welles)

Keep asking questions. Colour outside the lines. Draw your own maps. Create your own legends.**
(Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie)

There have been several times I have found myself blown off-course by a life-storm.

I didn’t think so at the time, but now, I’m grateful for being blow off the course I was heading along.

The storms have made it possible to be somewhere I never imagined.

Dave Trott writes of TV and radio producer John Lloyd:

He wouldn’t have done nearly so much with his life if he hadn’t been fired so many times.^

That encourages me.

Take a look around, take inventory of where you are and what you have.

It takes a while to reorientate, but slowly, we figure out where we can head from here.

Let me know if I can help with the journey.
