Reverb11 – Day 1 – Double E

I’m doing something a little different this month. Instead of blogging whenever the spirit takes me, I’m going to follow an initiative called Reverb11. I came across it on Carolyn Rubenstein’s blog and it seemed like a great idea so yeah, why not? Allow me to quote her introduction to the project and how it works before I go any farther:

The purpose of Reverb11 is to reflect on the past year and usher in the new year with intention. Rather than blindly entering 2012, you enter the new year with a renewed sense of purpose and empowerment. This new perspective enables you to be more proactive rather than merely reactive.
Each day during the month of December, I will be posting a prompt. I will also organize the prompts on a page in my sidebar for easy reference. Also, on this sidebar page, I will add resources and other inspiring morsels as we go. Additionally, if you will be participating in Reverb11, there will be a place for you to add your link to your blog so we can support one another along the way.
Aside from the daily prompts, Tiffany and I are setting up a Facebook group for discussion, support, and networking. And finally, we are also planning to host evening phone chats to bring the Reverb11 experience to life (virtual confetti will be provided!).

So, with that said, on to the first prompt. I need to catch up so I’ll be as quick as possible. :)

Prompt #1: One Word 
Encapsulate the year 2011 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 2012 for you?

I choose this for 2011: empowering. I have come across some incredibly inspiring people with major insights and awesome expression. It’s been a year of information, enlightenment, and connection, all of which have combined to broaden my horizons and make me a better thinker. Somehow I found my way to various blogs and websites that fed my desire to learn more about tapping into the inner well of creativity, and I strongly believe the Law of Attraction was at work there. Anyway, more on that in another post. :)

A year from today, hmmm. What will 2012 be? In a word, electric. I feel there is so much just waiting, aching to be discovered and expressed. You know how it is when you’re preparing for a major event and gathering all the tools you think you’ll need? Yeah, that’s how it is in my world right now. I’m gathering amazing material to guide me and I don’t even know where I’m going yet.

One thing’s for sure though, it’s gonna be one wild ride. Heck yeah. Not just electric but explosive, unprecedented, mind-boggling; I’ve been waiting too long to shake my life up and damn it, I’m making it happen within the next 12 months!
