Wow! A head full of ideas this week. Lots to consolidate, and the only way to do that is to write… I was listening to a presentation by Zig Ziglar (I think the guy is amazing by the way! I hope I am that energetic at his age – check him out in action if you ever get the chance). He said a really interesting thing; it is worth writing a book, even if that book is never published. Why? Because writing clarifies your thinking, it solidifies your ideas. That reminded me of the very reason that I started this blog: to write to clarify my thinking and as a step to writing a book. I am greatly encouraged by the feedback and follow up I have received, and by those that take the time to read. Thank you! Now, for me, back to the task!
Buzzing!

I’m sorry, I don’t understand Ziglar’s point. Is it that everyoneone should write a book?
Yes, that seemed to be the point he was making. It doesn’t matter if you get it published or not, just write, as a form of personal development. I guess we do that in a way by blogging!
