Embracing change.

WARNING:  This is one of a recurring series of posts on the topic of change.  If this topic bothers you and/or makes you unconfortable, please stay right where you are.  Literally.

Lots of change in my life recently.  Turned fifty, check.  Moved into new office space, check.  Started a new company that's doing well, check.

We've been spending a great deal with friends and clients talking about change as well.  Our bud, John Sarvay is doing some great things at his business, Floricane, and we spent some time over coffee and diet coke comparing notes.  While we discussed his future plans, I've since spent time reflecting on our future.  Not sure where I've landed yet but I'll likely burn some brain cells on spring break mulling it over.

Right now we seem to be in a good place.  We've made some great hires.  They and our long-time Hodgers have bonded amazingly and afford Josh and I the time to actually spend some planning, thinking, etc.

We're noticing that Shockoe Bottom and Richmond are changing as well, for the better.  For those who haven't been to our neighborhood, the number of apartments being built here is staggering.  It's not Ballpark development mind you but still the area is changing for the better.

We've also been fortunate to be included in some "fly-on-the-wall" discussions on the future of our community and I think I might want to spend a little time on that coming up.  I've been having some conversations and I'd like to have some more.  My goal will be to try to connect many of the smart people I know with each other.  I've already started a little.  I'm having fun.  I'd like to do more.

As is usual with change, you never know exactly where you're going until your there.  When you get there it's time to find somewhere else to go.

We've never really had a road map.  We like it that way.  It hasn't hurt us so far.

Are you changing?
