A lot has changed in One Year

What were your last 365 days like? 

For me I left a company after spending 4 years building a business with a great group of colleagues. Telling my friend and mentor that it was time to move on to my next challenge was difficult.

A New Beginning

In June 2008 I was recruited to help build a new business unit at Captaris. A few months later --- exactly one year ago today (Nov 3rd 2008) – Open Text completed their acquisition of Captaris. Contrary to what was expected --- Open Text bought and shot about 150 people on Day 1. While this was not a highlight of my year it has turned out to be a good thing.

A Lot to be Grateful For

Father of Three in Double Digits

I could not be more proud of the young adults our kids have become. They never cease to amaze me with their kindness and compassion. Combined with an incredible wife of almost 20 years and our extended friends and family I truly have a lot to be grateful for.

Ellie

Our family had talked about a dog for a long time. In October 2008 we decided it was time. We named her Ellie and we found that it is true -- the best gifts come wrapped in fur.

Social Media Club - Seattle

I have met some great friends and mentors along the way within the Social Media Club - Seattle chapter, and re-met people in the Microsoft partner ecosystem.

You Matter

Today I am reflecting back to a blog post by Seth Godin entitled "You Matter" and I'd like to think many of these apply to me. I’m working to insure my legacy lasts for hours, days or a even a lifetime.

I’m looking forward to the next 365 days.

What were your last 365 days like? 

Would you want to do them again?
