I've returned from adventures in Mexico, including time spent in the arrive-by-boat-only village of Yelapa where I got to completely disconnect, and this morning I woke early and was on the snow-less Chicago streets before 6:30am thinking, once again, about the need for change. Questions about my own life and where I'm heading.

On another path in Yelapa, Mexico

It's been three years and some 160 entries since I began to write this "Innovation on My Mind" blog. You may be reading it now as a subscriber to the blog or a Facebook or Linked-in "friend" who thinks of it as a note or status update.  It's been my goal to share my attempts to live a more creative life and be a catalyst for your creativity. I've tried to put into words what I want in this world and my wish for you: To be inspired and inspiring, interested and interesting, engaged and engaging.

Have I succeeded?  I don't know. I thank you for reading now and previously, but also am aware that the responses to my blogs have slowed the past several months and my faith that I'm not just spitting into a void has been tested. I'm not someone who thrives as a player in the blogosphere or gets a lot of satisfaction from disembodied virtual connections. So I'm thinking that a once-a-month blog is probably sufficient for now. If you have any thoughts or suggestions about this blog, please comment or email me.

What I do know is that living a creative life sometimes means questioning your own status quo, and challenging yourself to wake early sometimes to breathe with the new moon rising.  I feel a new moon rising inside me but the day is just beginning.
