New Trade Routes

Drawing digital pathways on the new trade maps.

Trade drives the way people interact.  People, products, money, and ideas follow the trade routes and impact everything in their path.  Keeping pace with the way trade routes are changing is essential to success or even survival.  New Trade Routes is working to better understand the changes so we can help our clients, investees, and grantees improve their chances of success.

 

Time Flies and So Does Life

It has been over a month since my last post.  The first full calendar month without a post since I started writing this blog.  I enjoy writing and my work on this blog has helped develop my writing skills and organize some of my thoughts. I should do it more often.

A few months ago my marriage of 15 years ended and gave me a pretty good reason to take a step back and think about things.  I suppose the fact that we agreed not to celebrate the last couple anniversaries should have been a clue.  With the aid of a little perspective I can now see how many seemingly small accommodations we each made to make the relationship work.  No need for those anymore.

I used to think that a relationship without accommodations would be distant or boring or both.  I may still think so, and I am looking forward to learning more about myself and my life as time races by.  It is a good time to assess how I spend my time, who I spend it with, and the projects I undertake.  

This should be a very interesting summer.
