Damn you Barack Obama for believing
that change is coming like a full force gale.
Damn you, you’ve made this jaded poet
dare to dream that hope, not hate, may yet prevail

My personal blog - initially started in 2008 to describe my experience following Stephen Cottrell’s book ‘Do nothing for Christmas - an Advent Calendar with a difference’ I repeated this in Advent, 2011.
It’s Advent again so I’m going to try to do another Advent Calendar with a difference - what is the meaning of Christmas. No particular theme, just an eclectic mix of thoughts and ideas - from me and, I hope, from my friends

I want change; some things Obama can fix, and some he can't. The thing that makes me a bit uncomfortable is my failure (too strong a word) to effect change myself. I'm making a belated New Year resolution to do something small. At least it'll get done!!
There's a quotation we used to use in our Project Management courses: There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.
Unfortunately, it was said by Machiavelli: good quote, shame about the author.
