(Community Matters) Sat for a long interview yesterday with Carol & Jack of Delta Associates to discuss an organization they’re helping with. Was enlightening to reflect back 12 – 15 years and
to see two evolutionary stages of an organization while contemplating needs for a third. What allowed you to arrive where you are and what will it take to get to where you want to go? Heck, where even do you want to go?!? And, WHY? Is it furthering the original mission or has the mission changed, or does it need to change? What was and what is the vision? Are we talking about strategy, objectives or tactics? Realizing I get a mental picture of the vision in my head, like the jaws of a bulldog. Also realizing, I have to build that mental vision or risk being a flapper.

It's about community, entrepreneurs, politics, art . . and sometimes just silly fun . . . a slightly gay blog.Eugene Sepulveda
Love big West Texas skies, the unimpeded horizons of the coasts, Austin and my husband, the Rev. Dr. Steven Robert Tomlinson, with whom I’ve spent the last 24 years – nineteen years since we were married on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. Then, married again at St. James Episcopal Church in Austin, TX on June 27, 2015.
