Meaning-making and sense-making is a contact sport. I know that my sense of myself and my role in the world has been absolutely informed by what you began with the very first BarCamp event in Toronto, the people I met and the blogs I read.

It is also an iterative process that benefits from articulation and testing against the real world.

Recently I've been asking myself 'what/why do I want to be when I grow up?'. But I assumed it was just my approaching 1-year self-employed and 30 years alive that caused that. Must be something in the water though.

Perhaps there's a market for MeaningCamp Toronto :)

Whatever you decide about your Toronto improvement mission/career/year, I'd like to say thank you for what you've done so far. Being part of the Torcamp community has been a good thing for me in various ways.
