All Together We Can

There is a time for all things under the sun. It has been my time to transition. My beautiful fall and early winter sabbatical was filled with wrestling the new puppy in Vermont, reading linguistics at the Dartmouth College library, and developing an iPhone AAC application: Proloquo2Go. Last week I started my Ph.D. in Special Education and AAC at The Pennsylvania State University. My new mentor said something last week to me that has stuck in my head. He said something to the effect of, “You can only have so many projects going at once…I mean sometimes you don’t have a choice, but….” The point was well taken and giving my self a chance to press pause on this blog for the holiday and my interstate move to Pennsylvania was just what I needed. I care deeply about sharing. Yet, at times it is not appropriate to share. It felt terrific to take a deep breath, export my free wordpress blog and take the leap into full on hosted wordpress. Yes, I was confused at first and true I almost lost it when the posts were not importing correctly. Yet, after some patience and some digging for those helping hands we find burried in support forums and FAQ’s I made my way to a fully hosted blog with the URL I have been hoping to implement for some time: www.alltogetherwecan.com. No I did not jump on the bandwagon for Obama 08! (While I am a huge fan!) I have believed in the concept for quite some time. In fact, the full name of the blog is All Together We Can Do Our Best. It comes from something my mother used to say to me, “…just do your best…” combined with the principles of synergy and collaboration that I see so clearly can help the individuals we serve. To me this blog is both my way to share and my way to process the journey. While I have some very big announcements to share in the coming days, I want to say thank you for visiting this weblog, this journal. I hope you like the new look and feel. Sincerely, Sam
