The circle game

I hummed Joni Mitchell all day yesterday. It was filled with a mixture of life cycle events.

I dropped my daughter off at the airport, seeing her start on the next chapter of her own life in a new home overseas; I joined the celebrations for a new corporate office; I attended a funeral for the father of a colleague. The comments in the eulogies seemed to tie the day together for me, serving as an inspiration to make an impact with our brief time on planet Earth.

A move to a new land, a corporate beginning, a funeral. And the seasons, they go round and round…

What do you plan to do that makes a positive impact on those around you?

Already, 5% of the new year is gone. Are you on pace?

 This year, I plan to dedicate time to working on solutions to get more computers into Canada’s most economically challenged households. As I have written before, we need one million computers to provide an opportunity to participate in the digital economy in the households with the greatest needs. I’d like to hear your ideas on how to move forward.

I am getting together with some colleagues early on Monday evening to discuss the issue. In the meantime, your thoughts would be appreciated.
