A Moment

Between moving unexpectedly, preparing to launch the online business I have devoted the last year and a half of my life to architecting, meeting with company advisors this past week and all staff in a few weeks time, and just the continual process of coming to terms with life after James, it’s felt like a bit of a whirlwind lately. Still, in the midst of it all, there is an eye to the storm. In this case, we just had to look up. Against a brilliant canvass of Ojai-orange cloud, there appeared not one but two concentric rainbows. Strange, I guess, to find a message of hope in phenomena easily explained by grade-school physics. But there it was.

    When can you let us know more about your company?

    Hey Chris, nice to hear from you. It’s not my own company, it’s the company I have been working with for the past 18 months — the one that pulled me out of consulting. I have been architecting an executing (with a little help from my friends) an online subscription management, CRM, eCommerce, CMS, and marketing tool to drive a completely new business model for the company: online subscription-based content and eLearning. The official launch is right around the bend; until then you’ll just have to trust me that it’s extremely cool. ;)
