One Word
Clearly, I’m not so good at this blogging on a regular basis thing. But I really want to write more often. I WILL write more often! So I’m stealing inspiration from friends participating in #Reverb10 (thanks Nicole, Alyson and Susan.) Here goes…
Day 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?
My word for 2010 is: network. It may seem like an annoying buzz word, especially when you put the word “social” before it. But 
the definition is simply a system of things connected by a common thread. Could be wires, or buildings or even arteries.
My network is made up of people. I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many people over the past year, cultivate new relationships and strengthen existing ones, thanks to online, professional and personal networks.
A coworker of mine often comments on how much I must enjoy networking because I always seem to be doing it. Apparently, not everyone thinks it’s fun to attend club meetings, tweet-ups and organized happy hours on a regular basis. But it’s fun because some of my closest friends are part of these events. And we’ve become friends BECAUSE of these events. I’m grateful for that.
What word do I want for 2011? Shake. As in shake up. For a very long time, I’ve felt stuck on the verge. I want to take a giant leap and see where I land. What changes will I need to make for this to happen? Sometimes opportunity knocks, other times you have to go searching for it. I’m on the look out.

I am so glad you decided to join #reverb10. Your two words mesh so well together. There is no better way to shake it up, than by meeting new people, building relationships and leaping at new opportunities.
I love this. Like the image….
