Somethings definitely coming down and new things wanting to step to the fore.  Some of those have nothing to do with computers, writing, even words.  Now what?  <\/p>\n<p>I notice that the four Main Ingredients listed in the side bar and last posting are not the only main ingredients.  They&#8217;re the ones that are captured most easily here, no big surprise in that.  They are my work, my passions, my practices, my offerings.  It seems that the relative weight and attention given to each is being rejiggered now.  The whole mess pressing for restructuring.  The relative sizes and shapes and the ways they&#8217;re wired together no longer fit who I think I am.<\/p>\n<p>To see what I mean, take out your own business card, or have a look at your website.  Look at the company name, your name, and other info there.  Look at font-sizes, domains and colors.  Or look at your office or home space.  Is it you?  Is it enough?

And for now, the sure list is shorter than the not. [grin]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ripping and stripping continues here.
