It just occurred to me that I have not produced any content for this site in quite a long time and that I've not been participating in online discussions.

I wanted to offer a quick explanation.

I am enrolled in school full-time, while still working full-time and I'm parenting. I just haven't had available time to research and produce articles related to PM, nor have I been involved in my local chapter, for a couple of years now.

I still have a lot of work to complete my degree and I plan to go straight into an MBA program after that, so I don't know when I'll next write an article here, but when I do, you'll be getting articles from someone with a lot of experience in the PM world, in the IT world and with an MBA, so hopefully the quality will improve with all of that work!

I've not abandoned PMI or the community, but I am taking a hiatus to complete some personal development, and to focus on parenting and coaching soccer.

Wow...
I am really appreciative of all the support. Thank you, Vincent,Sante, Brian, Jesus, Rami, Eduin, Andrew, and Cibin!

Maybe I'll write something related to project management based on coaching a team of 13-year-old boys playing soccer.

...or on returning to school mid-career, while working full-time and taking care of a family.
