The day was sure to come when I would start blogging.

Part of the nudge came from the announcement that my online community, Omidyar, would be shutting down in September. Feeling a bit like the rug was being pulled out from underfoot, the end of the social entrepreneurial network has had most of us considering where to land and continue our online dialog and network weaving and sharing. The web has many places for like-minded connections to occur. At Omidyar there was a thread that linked us, and even though we may have been involved in very different activities and work, there was a cross-pollination that I found precious and priceless. We shall see where the winds of technology and human spirit take us.

Yet, perhaps the bigger and more compelling reason for me to start this blog is to plant the seeds of my own vision and invite more in-depth conversation and exploration about how to build creative, sustainable programs and projects to teach our next generation to be thoughtful, empathetic, questioning, giving and helping to make our world better.

I look forward to open sharing and working together with people, organizations and businesses who seek to do the same.
