Well, happy holiday season everyone!
As the year 2017 ushers towards a close, we reflect and refocus.
So, this reflection is a bit personal as it pertains to each and every one of us...
During the past several months,
I have explored the present landscape of Blockchain technology & cryptocurrencies.
This journey has been fun, informative, and groundingI for me.
You see, as my name suggests 
It's been one of my life's guiding thoughts.
Do you want to be in shape, and healthy?
Do you want good grades or to earn a lot of money?
Do you enjoy spending time with the people you love?
Do you want more and more good things and feelings in your life?
Well, most people do. And, the FASTER we can solve problems, the FASTER we can reach our goals, right?
But, is it ever best to just slow down, down, down?
That's me holding up Christmas cookie dough :-)

While I began this post with an image about IOTA. For those of you who follow, IOTA brings together crypto currency with Machine 2 Machine transactions (Internet of Things).
I'm writing this now just listening to peaceful Christmas music.
Reflecting on what it means to be human.

While, simultaneously, the rapid growth of our species continues here on planet earth.
I've been a follower of accelerating exponential technology and have contemplated it's inevitable impact on our lives.
So, what does this all mean for me and you?
Well, I believe the implications and the future will be unlike anything we imagine.
Fortunes will be made and lost.
Revolution is happening.
But, I'm reminded now, more than ever before perhaps, just how important it is to slow down.
Be present.
So, with thanks and gratitude, I wish all of you a wonderful holiday season.
iota,
