A humble beginning

Well, here we are! WiSe dives into the world of blogging. It is another bold move. Opening up the conversation about Supported Employment to the world.
Today was my rookie outting in the world of blogging. I had no idea how expansive this world is. I have searched templates, explored a massive number of sites, admired amazing photos and stories and am blurry-eyed with possibilities!
I find it simply mind boggling to consider the potential for feeling connected in a virtual world. I’m left to ponder…what does it mean to feel unified in the information era? I see how technology connects us to old friends, family and like-minded others but is it really possible to create unity through technology? I have witnessed the most connected movement in my lifetime, the Obama campaign. I sit stunned by the capacity of the vast array of outreach tools available through technology and yet still wonder if the ability to unify, connect and move a massive country like the United States was “for real”.
I guess only time will tell. The collective energy that is stirring in our country has my mind in action and in question of what is possible and probable.
Happy Veteran’s Day…and thank you to all of our veterans on this rainy, overcast day in lovely Seattle. I look forward to sharing the world of Supported Employment with you through yet another modality of our collective connectedness.

Hey, humble beginnings give way to fantastic things. As we approach the New Year I am thinking of how many of the job seekers I know can be an important part of companies reinventing themselves and focusing on working leaneer and wiser. Here’s to beginnings and continuations.
