Post-Knowledge

Just renamed my blog after realizing that the former title (How Do You Manage Knowledge Anyway?) doesn't so much apply to my world any more. Sure, I'm managing knowledge personally, and will continue to learn and apply as much as I can concerning knowledge management to my business practices, but I'm also managing so much more now -- including a brand new marriage and a brand new job.

The key to my new blog title is that I really don't feel that I know anything any more (I got lost going to the parkade last week, for example) ... I feel a bit like I'm taking each step not knowing quite whether there will be ground under the next step -- and I feel great about it.

I feel a bit post-everything, to be honest -- which to me means that some things that needed to change have changed, and that there's room to start again. To learn. To get things right. And yes, to make some new mistakes.

More on the new job in posts to come.

In the meantime, I'm still in a post-wedded state of bliss. Brent and I just celebrated our marriage at a party on the weekend in Vancouver and I'm completely voiceless as a result. But ecstatic. What lovely friends we have -- and Campoverde, what a perfect venue for a smallish group (50-60 people). Check out wedding photos on our group site at www.flickr.com/groups/shannonandbrent06. I'll be posting some photos from our wedding reception this past weekend as well.
