Welcome 2011

2010 is almost over. Looking back I see changes. Like the famous quote "nothing is permanent but change" I see change more so in 2010 than in previous years. I adopted a lot of terms, terms I knew but didn't understand, terms I didn't know and now its my everyday word. So here is a small summary:

• I started blogging here and now write regularly in a couple of different places
• I made hundreds of tester friends online: people who motivate me on a daily basis, who teach me everyday and who help me be a better person
• I came to realize I have a lot to learn
• IPad, Xbox, Android, Twitter, Facebook: tools to help me if I learn to use them
• I said goodbye to simple flip phones, home phone, GPS, CD player, big huge TV and computer monitors

I welcome 2011 with the following resolutions

• I want to present at a conference
• I want to get published
• I want to travel to Europe
• I want to go on a cruise
• I want to complete my green belt certification

With these words I sign off in 2010 to return fully charged in 2011.

Why "Today's Big Picture"?

I have been meaning to start a blog for a long time. I debated on the topics, the name and the purpose. In the end I decided I just have to start it and depending on the day I could bring what is important to me to the table here in my blog. As a full time working mom, when I have a lot of things going on, I always remind myself that the most important piece is the big picture. Technically big picture is my goal. Sometimes its as simple as get a document out before end of the day or it can be a month long project where I need my team to help. When a lot goes on I try to break things down into smaller chunks and this helps with positively marching towards my big picture.
