Never say never...

I was wrong again. I didn't think it would really work. I thought there would be like three people at our end-of-the-term webinar. And digital media proved me wrong again.

I am constantly amazed by the power of digital media in connecting people of similar interests and creating a habitat wherein they can share their ideas and collaborate. It was so neat to hear everyone's ideas today, to respond to their questions, and to feel their excitement. It really was enlightening and refreshing. There is nothing in a traditional research paper that compares with the feeling that I had when the webinar was over-- that feeling of "just a minute more" or of "is it really the end?" I've loved the journey. I've found new light and new inspiration in the vitality of the internet, and I don't ever want to go back. Really, I've discovered so much about myself and about the creative process, and now, my task is to go forward and implement all the things that we've been learning. This is kind of a short post, but I'll end it now in just saying how great a blessing the webinar was for me. It is the defiant "I can" in the midst of a sea of uncertainty, and it will be something that I look back to for years to come as I embark on my quest of digital discovery over the rest of my life. So glad to have been able to take part.
