This is one of those weeks where the dividing line between work and personal life is extremely thin. A number of unavoidable but poorly timed family illnesses and crisis have taken up a lot of my brain space. And, of course, a slew of completely unrelated work demands have popped up at the same time and demand an enormous amount of professional attention. I am behind on my readings about the world of magazines and publishing. I can even confess to hitting the delete key on emails and newsletters that didn't come from my clients this past week.But I did have some thoughts about all of the craziness we’ve seen recently and how that seems to intersect with my own experiences. If that sponsors a conversation, well, yay! If you feel like returning the favor and hitting the delete key right about now... OK then. I won’t take it personally.
