I like the way you connected those dots, Karena. It certainly brings forward the ideas of "innovation waits for no one" or "where there's a will, there's a way." It seems our innovative spirit always finds a way to speed life along or make it easier. Just thinking of the music trail from reel-to-reel to cassette tape, to 8-track, to CD. (I have a friend who now makes beautiful hand-painted mandalas on those old CDs!) Now our music is in the ether! Next, with VR, we'll be part of the band. Rock on!
I am reading Anxious Generation at present. I am cognizant of the fact that we have to install guard rails around new technology as powerful as this, else someone is going to pay the price. Yet. Everyone fights to play with the new toy! Thanks for your comment, Jackie. Rock on indeed!
I haven't read this all yet but had to jump to the comments to say I laughed at my desk reading: "There is a moment—just after holding my pee and biting my knuckles—"
I love the way your mind works. You knit things together and see possibilities that others miss--and then you are generous with sharing those ideas. We are all blessed by your insights!
Thanks, Cindy. I think everyone sees possibilities and makes connections in the areas that ping on their internal radar. I see you do it with words, with marketing, with people.
For instance, "knit things together" ... I would never have thought to use that wonderful metaphor!
This snippet alone is quite compelling. "a round-the-world 16-country journey my family and I took from November 2004-July 2005" - that's a "tell me more" hook for sure.
I'm looking forward to working with you through allmystories.com to make the hooks on the individual stories even better, Rick! Thanks for inspiring this week's edition by having me look back in time.

Ha! As any mother and gamer and coder knows!
!!! I'm also putting a book together with Rick's All My Stories app!
Yay! We should tag-team.
