In a recent
blog post Seth Godin made some predictions about
how the infamous year 2020 will be thought of ten years from now.
“Whatever happens over the next ten years, if history is any guide
at all, the year we just finished will be mostly a faded memory.
“What will
matter more than what just happened is what we decide to do with where we are,
daily, persistently, generously, for the next 3,650 days.
“Here’s to
possibility, to justice, and to betting on the future.”
My book, The ‘Starting Out’ Years, which is
finally being published, does just that.
One of my beta readers, said this last March after reading the
first draft. She liked the optimistic
outlook of Fiona, the main character in Chapter 5, as she worked her way
through the year 2020—and that was before we realized that 2020 was going to
fall apart!
