Update

Onward and upward, one step at a time…

I continue to be encouraged by MediaPost OnlineSPIN columnist Cory Treffiletti’s post entitled “Some More Positivity And Opportunity,” where he wrote,

“I think it’s about time that we start focusing on solutions and the positive trends in the marketplace rather than continuing to restate the obvious issues and challenges.”

Around the time when that column came out in early 2009, I received an email update from trend analyst Michael Tchong with the subject line of “Reinventing America,” featuring a lot of brilliant ideas for moving some incredibly smart initiatives forward. Michael wrote,

“Trendwatchers are more acutely aware of these issues than most, but they’re also more hopeful. They recognize that these challenges can be overcome through creativity, innovation and deft planning. To accomplish this, the groundwork has to be laid in 2009, it can be postponed no longer.”

These are some of the encouraging words that have inspired me to continue exploring bright, new solutions to the world’s problems.
