Prompt: 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? –by the lovely Cali Harris! I never thought of community before moving to Boulder. Honestly. New York is…a huge thriving melting pot but community? Us New Yorkers weren’t [...]
This post is part of an online initiative called #Reverb10, a chance to reflect on the past year and manifest for the next. You can read all mine here and join me here. Prompt: Make. What was the last thing you made? What materials did you use? Is there something you want to make, but [...]
Prompt: Let Go. What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why? This was hard. What exactly did I let go of this year?? I added a lot: a new home, a new community, a new point of view on life. But letting go? It wasn’t coming to me. In fact, I’ve hmmed [...]

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) This year was a melting pot of emotions, of moments both great, good and bad and some even horrific. There were moments standing on top of a [...]
What do you do each day that doesn’t contribute to your writing — and can you eliminate it? This was a harder prompt to think about, surprisingly. Despite the many years of blogging, of writing nearly daily, I still do not consider myself a writer. I feel like if I suddenly labeled myself as one, [...]
Discovery Encapsulate the year 2010 in one word. Explain why you’re choosing that word. It’s the first day of Reverb 10 and while I pondered the many words I could have used for this year–chance, change, learning, growth–one stuck out as being a common theme throughout all this: Discovery. 2010 was all about discoveries both [...]
I could write about how horrible yesterday was, about the five hours I spent with the DMV and waiting in line at the emissions testing center and how the culmination of this entire day was my losing my drivers license. Top that off with a ridiculously bad headache and the reemergence of MRSA and I [...]
Sometimes you have good luck, sometimes you have bad. Over the past couple weeks I’ve had a batch of some bad luck, starting with my bout with MRSA (which isn’t over apparently), then moving on to poor sales at work and then finally culminated in last nights fiasco with my new sofa. I have been [...]
I started out my Thanksgiving by yelling at people in traffic. Actually, I was coming out of Target after an unsuccessful attempt at getting caramel (which, by the way, did you know is very rare?) and there was a lot of traffic. The guy in front of me was too scared to take a chance [...]
