Good meeting with Shannon this morning. She was helping me through a small/big (not sure) paradigm shift. We were talking about adilas lite and fracture - proposed project to rewrite the adilas.biz code. It is super deep...

We were talking about instead of the old ship A and new ship B type model, what about ship A becoming or morphing into ship B. Most of our previous talks and content building sessions have been focused on ship A being the older or current model and ship B being the future model (something that was in the future or completely new). We have known about this... but most likely in denial of it... about the fact that already, whether we want it or not, we are starting to morph and change ship A into ship B (what we want). I still think that the ideal is ship A as the working prototype and ship B as the new buildout, but that is not the only way that it could happen. This was the paradigm shift that I was going through this morning...

- Ship A to ship B transformation...

- Going over ideas and what is happening... (all of the events and things that are happening inside of adilas right now)

- The writing is on the wall... It is changing, right in front of us. If this were the case (and it is), what can I do to help that along?

- Building within the context of what we have vs something that is completely in the future.

- Shannon was being a great sister (and counselor today). She was saying, ask God and see what He says. Figure out your direction based on what you know and where you hope to go.

- This little paradigm shift is a big load or big deal if we are looking for a rescue... (somebody to come in and fund this and/or take over and help to manage the progression). So, now what do I do?

- The book "The Horse and His Boy" (by C.S. Lewis) - The lion pushing the horses that last mile - helping to put some fear into them to make them go faster. Sometimes we feel like we are being pushed by a lion... Just having fun with it.

- Be open to a couple of different potential directions

- Story of the wrong roads... They went down the wrong road, then they figured that out. At that point, they knew that one of the roads was incorrect. They could then take the other road with more confidence. Shannon and I were talking about knowing that it is not the right way - Potentially, over and over again...

- We added some good humor in this little discussion and brainstorming session.

- We have been doing this (changing and putting layer upon layer upon layer), over and over again, for 20+ years... Even layouts like classic to snow owl and coding changes from ColdFusion tags to ColdFusion script. We have been dynamically changing for years and years. That is awesome!

- End goals are the same... It is just how we get there...

- Rereading some things in the developer's notebook... (rejecting and pirate ship)

- Recognition... This is one of the steps to moving forward.
