I’m Back!

It’s been a while, but I woke up the other morning feeling that I was no longer going to watch the world from the sidelines. The time has come for me to re-engage myself with the world and opportunities around me.

Truth be told, I never really left and I was never really away. Yes I traveled and I will continue to travel but I woke up one day six months ago feeling an immediate need to re-engage with the world and then a realization that it was my time to watch and not do. And this was something real hard for me at the time but something I can look back to for my own inner strength. When I started watching the world around me from the sidelines, I remained focused on emerging technologies and used some of my available time to explore face to face social networking and I also spent time with a number of startups in the Israeli Hi-Tech Community. I even helped get a stealth mode startup in the social media space happen. (More about this when they are ready.)

Looking back, I used my time to better get to know myself and looking back at my blog posts during the past few months, I’ve shared pieces of me with the rest of the world. And I’m glad that I have done this. If I didn’t have the available time to sit and think about things, I would have never been able to get to share that part of me. And my hope and plan is to continue to share things about myself that others just never share. Maybe not as often as I have in recent weeks, but I will do so as my available time permits.

At the same time, I now have a plan on how to re-engage myself in the world and I’m excited about the seminar series I will be producing around the United States about my perspective on Social Media and the Future of Communications. Especially looking forward to my first seminar that will be taking place on October 28th at my office on Long Island.

I also have plans for a special UnConference event that I will be announcing soon. In fact I have a few announcements I will be making in the days and weeks ahead.

Just wants to reach out and say hi. And I liked the idea of saying, “I’m Back.”

WILL BE recollected thatwow gold the new, or ratherwow gold old, acquaintances of the Count of Monte Cristo, residing in the Ruewow gold Meslay, were no other than Maximilian, Julie, and Emmanuel. Thewow gold very anticipations of delight to be enjoyed in his forthcoming visits--the bright, wow goldpure gleam of heavenly happiness it diffused over the almost deadly warfare in whichwow gold he had voluntarily wow goldengaged, illumined his whole countenance with a look of wow goldineffable joy and calmness, as, immediately after Villefort's departure, his thoughts flew back to the cheering prospect before him, of tasting, at least, a brief respite from the fierce and stormy passions of his mind. Even Ali, who had hastened to obey the Count's summons, went forth from his master's presence in charmed amazement at the unusual animation and pleasure depicted on features ordinarily so stern and cold; while, as though dreading to put to flight the agreeable ideas hovering over his patron's meditations, whatever they were, the faithful Nubian walked on tiptoe towards the door, holding his breath, lest its faintest sound should dissipate his master's happy reverie.

Being here and being there is sometimes a state of mind.

How often are we someplace but our mind is a few thousand miles away? And then one day we wake up and we are at our own ground zero?

We are taught to "get back on the horse" whether we fall off of it or are push off. But recognizing that now isn’t to time to get back on but to become an observer is something that I never knew existed until I recently experienced it. And then waking up and realizing now was the time to re-engage, well that’s what I mean by “Being Back.”
