If you want to build a ship, don’t gather people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but instead teach them to long for the sea.

Back to work

The days are getting shorter and the weather seems to be getting worse again in this part of the world. This can only mean one thing: Vacation is over and it’s back to work!

And new work at that, as I’ve switched jobs over the past two months. I’m now part of a great, creative team at Talmon B_Connected, responsible for creative concepts involving one my big passions: Storytelling.

I do apologize for the complete lack of updates over the past 2 months. It’s said that after 21 days one learns a habit, and just as easily as I’d had learned to (re)search interesting material, and more importantly for this blog – write about – it it had become undone during my vacation.

Fortunately I did not shed all good habits during this vacation and my ‘idea log‘ and email box are brimming with links, thoughts, ideas and concepts. I’m currently processing these and plan to return to our regular schedule of updates as of this moment.

I hope you had a wonderful, inspirational vacation as well and keep an eye on our feed for our upcoming updates!
