We'll be okay, really we will.
Last week was kind of emotionally difficult. It really started to bring me down, the incessant negative news, concerned calls from people, nervous people with mortgages and families, who are just now starting to feel and fear the domino effect of this horrible economy. Thanks to corporate greed and the inept leadership who blindly ran this country into the ground.
Everywhere I go, they're there. These little reminders that something big, really big and really scary is happening and no one knows how or when it's going to stop. Just thinking of listing all the increasingly bad things happening in the world right now is too depressing, and at times I’m feeling like I can’t escape it. Simply driving to my house, I'm reminded as I pass one barren car dealership after another and OPEN HOUSE! signs scattered throughout the neighborhood. How does one keep positive momentum when it feels like the walls are slowly closing in like the Death Star trash compactor scene in Star Wars?
As a result, I've spent a lot of time this weekend reading and thinking. When I contemplate my life so far, it’s very clear the most difficult challenges I’ve faced have made me grow in the most beautifully raw and profound ways. I've overcome some things I really thought I couldn't, and when I’ve had the courage to follow my gut and face the uncomfortable, the bad and scary, it has turned out okay, even better than I expected. Always.
As a result, I’m stronger. I feel myself carrying more wisdom through each “event”, walking with more confidence and less fear and slowly shedding the facade I so strategically began building when I was a pure and innocent little girl who didn’t want to feel pain.

President Barack Obama
We spent the morning with a box of tissues as we watched the inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama, our 44th President of the United States of America. What a momentous day, on so many levels. My son came home from school with this letter he'd written to our new President, which is already on its way to the White House. And how great was the end of Rev. Lowery's benediction speech?

Hello 2009!

Welcome to the WNTD blog, well, the We WNTD WNTD blog since some jackass in the Dominican Republic has used our name for....pretty much nothing. It's just sitting there. We've started this blog regardless of the article we've just read telling us blogging went out with the hula-hoop. Our bold plan for 2009 is to bring it back. We are WNTD. We help inspiring, talented and inventive creative people and companies find one another. Stay tuned for more, all you people who aren't reading this.
