ponzi

As I gear up this morning for the next ten days I’m filled with awe of what is to come. And, a little nostalgic about some stuff that happened a long time ago.

It was four years ago that I sat on a panel at SXSW to talk about blogging, intimacy, mask making and love online.

Sometimes when you are in the forest it’s hard to see the trees, life is funny that way.

The amazing Julie Leung was the fabulous futurist  of 2006 who saw what was coming before many of us did, even if we were living it.

Looking back now I can see  the forest clearly.

We were discussing and living the social side of online media and it’s consequences way before the genre of multi media interaction online was coined “Social Media.”

I’ve been quiet for far too long…

kar·ma (kär’mÉ™)
n.
1. Hinduism & Buddhism The total effect of a person’s actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person’s existence, regarded as determining the person’s destiny.
2. Fate; destiny.

I do, and- I believe what I put out to the world will come back to me. Trying to live in a positive light is sometimes difficult in a world of people with different thoughts and perspectives than our own. We are all faulted and we are all beautiful just usually not at the same time. Today lets you and I try to see the beauty in something we usually see as ugly.

I saw a cartoon and it said “Today I will be as happy as a bird with a french fry!” Cheers to that! I hope you have a beautiful bird with a french fry kind of day.
