A Little Background

Welcome to my blog! I want to start by explaining the title "Sparks to Brilliance." The first thing that comes to mind is this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6DFvDTvfZY&feature=channel_video_title.

It might not be quite as powerful on video but being present with 3,000 other people and watching one candle ignite thousands of others in a room of people united if even just for that one moment is pretty powerful. Candles and light in the darkness has always fascinated me.

I also think that this video represents the way that ideas can spread. We all know that there is no stronger way to spread your message in marketing that through word of mouth. I think sometimes it is hard for us to see the outcome until a huge number of people have gathered toward one cause or in support of our product or message. It is so powerful!

I have noticed little sparks in my life that seems to stick and grow. It is crazy that I can hear about something in class that I never knew existed and then have a friend mention it to me the same week as well as read an article in the news. Something completely foreign to us all of a sudden comes center stage as if we are supposed to know about it and perhaps do something with it. I want my blog to be about those little things that in the end pile up to create brilliance. Brilliance through light and also hopefully a couple of brilliant revelations or ideas.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this!
