The reprise

It's been a while. One year, one month, one week, and four days to be exact. Here's what you missed:

• I started doing contract work for a 19 y/o whiz kid
• My big sister got married
• I left my job at AnnArbor.com to join NYC-based Clickable
• I went to India (again) for six months
• I moved to New York
• My mom and Stan finally got married
• I left my job at Clickable to co-found a company with the whiz kid

There were a few dramas and dating mishaps thrown in there as well, but by and large the theme of the last thirteen months has been change.

I have been plotting my return to blogging for a while, but I wanted to be intentional about it and the timing didn't feel right until now. I went through a phase where I was determined to shed my pageant identity and re-brand myself as a professional. What does that even mean, you ask? Exactly.

For a brief moment I thought this blog needed a more focused theme and decided I would write about women in business and technology. Boring and overplayed, you say? Exactly.

The next iteration was a blog focused on living life intentionally. That brought about as much focus as an old school overhead projector, at which point I realized that trying to assign a theme to my blog is the equivalent of assigning a theme to my life - impossible.

I've decided to stick with the original title of the blog for two reasons: (1) I'm still patting myself on the back for coming up with it and (2) It acknowledges that there is much to be learned from failure, which is something I expect to experience a lot more of in the near future. To get a better idea of what I'll be writing about, take a look at the fancy new 'About' page.

Note: I started writing again about a month ago and I have ten posts that have not yet been published. I will be posting them shortly.  I refrained from publishing these in real time because of the sensitivity that comes with career transitions. My apologies to those of you who subscribe via email because you are about to get spammed.
