I tend to be a look forward type of guy. I’m not to big on living in the past, or being too nostalgic on the “good old days”. Don’t get me wrong. I appreciate history, and all the lessons it has to offer us. In fact, history is a passion of mine. I feel there is a lot to learn from great people around the world about life and dealing with adversity. Also, what mistakes others have made, so we don’t make those same mistakes, or what we can learn about things that worked, and things that didn’t on the way to great success. But what I really love—what really gets me excited—is the future, or what’s next? To do things nobody has ever done before, to make the once thought impossible— possible. It is all part of the The OI Connection movement we are building here. 

As we start 2017, I hopeful for our future, and what is possible for anyone affected by OI – whether it be those medical professional teams that treat patients with OI, people affected by OI personally, or any advocacy organization advocating for people affected by OI and those that love them. 

I started a YouTube Channel to help encompass some basic concepts on which we will build our movement.

The first 2 videos are about getting connected and the 4 C’s to transforming OI care and advocacy: Connection, Collaboration, Context, and Compassion. You must have all 4 of these  or the whole thing breaks down. 

The 3rd one is about the Plus 1 Concept, and how we are trying to have at least one positive impact in someone’s life by being connected to this movement. It starts with a small ripple, before we can build big waves to be the change we want to see. 

2017 is our chance to show the world what’s next. Let’s get connected and do something great! Happy 2017!
