Reverb 10 Prompts 1-10
December 1 – One Word. Encapsulate the year 2010 in one word. Explain why you’re choosing that word. Now, imagine it’s one year from today, what would you like the word to be that captures 2011 for you? (Author: Gwen Bell)
One word to encapsulate the year 2010 would be “intermittent” defined: adjective
1. stopping or ceasing for a time; alternately ceasing andbeginning again: an intermittent pain.
2. alternately functioning and not functioning or alternately functioning properly and improperly.
It felt as if my life in 2010 would start and stop…I get on a plan and exercise…do it well for a few months then something would interfere and I would stop. Start to eat healthy…get a cold…my confidence would be shot down…then start eating unhealthy again!!!
The word I would like to use for 2011 would be…hhmmm I don’t know yet…maybe “create”….create my life…create a new path….create myself! Or maybe “self”(–noun
1. a person or thing referred to with respect to complete individuality: one's own self.)
take care of myself…make myself healthy…exercise myself….put myself first…find myself…
December 2 – Writing. What do you do each day that doesn’t contribute to your writing — and can you eliminate it? (Author: Leo Babauta)
I would love to be able to articulate my thoughts onto paper/blog/journal etc…I have, what I think are good thoughts and by the time I get to the computer or remember to write them down…I forget what the thoughts were.!!! I would like to be more “on the ball” with that.
December 3 – Moment. Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors). (Author: Ali Edwards)
The moment I felt most alive this year…to be honest I don’t know if there was…being a mother to 5 children and a husband…I am just glad to make it through the day…I am mostly on auto pilot and I would love to be able to feel alive everyday in 2011, to marvel at something whether it be my kids, hubby or just nature.
December 4 – Wonder. How did you cultivate a sense of wonder in your life this year? (Author: Jeffrey Davis)
I wondered a lot this year…read a lot of inspiring books…or rather read books to get inspired…I hope to act on that wonder in 2011…to be an example of wonder and inspiration to my family as well as myself.
December 5 – Let Go. What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why? (Author: Alice Bradley)
I tried very hard to let go and let God this year…I tried very hard to not worry about what others thought…some days it worked others it didn’t. I tried to remember that I do not control others …whatever they may do is on them… I can only control how I feel and how I react to situations.
December 6 – Make. What was the last thing you made? What materials did you use? Is there something you want to make, but you need to clear some time for it? (Author: Gretchen Rubin)
I made Christmas dinner.
December 7 – Community. Where have you discovered community, online or otherwise, in 2010? What community would you like to join, create or more deeply connect with in 2011? (Author: Cali Harris)
I have discovered blogs this year…blogs that I go to everyday and check on the posts..but I never leave comments… I like to read what others have to say…but have this fear of commenting…as if I would not make sense or sound uneducated. I have my own blog but no one visits it…because I have few friends I would love to deeply connect with women and mothers that go through the same day to day challenges of life as I do.
December 8 – Beautifully Different. Think about what makes you different and what you do that lights people up. Reflect on all the things that make you different – you’ll find they’re what make you beautiful. (Author: Karen Walrond)
I am pretty easy to get along with…even my ex-husbands ex-girlfriend and I are very good friends…with others I try to break the ice…or to crack jokes to make it easier to get along…(but the odd thing is ..with my family I am the total opposite.) I would love to have the sense of ease and laughter with my family.
December 9 – Party. What social gathering rocked your socks off in 2010? Describe the people, music, food, drink, clothes, shenanigans. (Author: Shauna Reid)
We took a trip to New Jersey for a wedding and it was great…the food …the people…my family..the trip to NYC. It rocked our socks off!!
December 10 – Wisdom. What was the wisest decision you made this year, and how did it play out? (Author: Susannah Conway)
I don’t recall any wise decisions that I have made in the past 12 months…this year seems all a blur…I hope I can make and remember them in 2011
