I wrote something two and a half years ago. A digital colleague in Melbourne, Australia created a posterized quote from it. Yesterday an educator I wasn’t yet connected to shared the poster on Twitter. A digital colleague in Rochester, NY retweets it and tags me:
Thank you for sharing this, @LoraKB13, and thank you, @datruss, for reminding us of the power of connecting and collaborating with one another! https://t.co/1F01m0WnPJ

We live in an amazingly connected world, and sharing digitally allows us to collaborate and learn from each other. It’s collaboration on a global scale… and you will never fully know the potential of your sharing, unless you are willing to put your thoughts and ideas ‘out there’.
David, this example reminds me of the serendipitous story associated with Adrian Camm’s ‘Permission to Innovate‘ card.
Thanks for sharing Aaron!
You shared this from Dean Shareski, (I remember reading it when he first wrote it):
“What I will tell you is that I need to blog more. Not for you, but for me. I need to get back to sharing more frequently, my thinking. Not for you, but for me.“
That is exactly why I restarted this daily blog. It’s weird, but recently I’ve been struggling with feeling like I’m writing for my audience and not for myself, and I’ve been less happy with my writing. I’m sure I’ll shift back, but this is the longest I’ve ever tried to blog daily for and I’m sure I will hit these moments a few more times. Still, I’m glad to be sharing more and it still feels like I’m doing it more for myself than for others.
