The Long Overdue Blog

This blog should have been started two years ago when I began my MBA journey. But I didn’t have the time, didn’t have the inclination, and was still busy wrapped up in my old life. And that seems a strange thing to think about because in just over two years, the focus of my attention has shifted dramatically.

Then. Before. I was caught up in life’s roiling ups and downs, oftentimes not my own. I was the main carer for my mother. My daughter needed a taxi (me) and attention.

Now. I read articles and business papers. I focus on the ideas, the concepts. I think about work, my colleagues and life is meaningful in a different way.

Then. I read supermarket two for one offers. Thrillers. Science Fiction. Fabulous page-turners.

Now. I listen to audiobooks such as Love in the Time of Cholera and have several hefty tomes on organisational management, many themes on chaos and ideas about consciousness.

Then. I didn’t have a focus for my blogs. I started them, I stopped them. I demolished them. Started another. And left them to wither somewhere in the bits and megabits landfill.

Now…. I make no promises to myself. Let’s see where this new journey takes me.

Of course, it was Aristotle who coined the phrase but Mary Poppins made it popular.
