An Invitation: Reverb11
Happy December! This month we say goodbye to 2011 and prepare to usher in 2012. Last year, during the month of December, I participated in Reverb10. Gwen Bell, Cali Harris, and Kaileen Elise launched and ran this project. The purpose of Reverb10 was to reflect on the past year and manifest what’s to come in the new year. This purpose, while seemingly daunting, is made easy through daily prompts that allow you to focus on different areas of your life in bite size (manageable) pieces. During Reverb10, I gained incredible insight by reflecting on the daily prompts and connected with new online friends on a more personal and vulnerable level. As I entered 2011, I found myself more confident stemming from the support of this new vibrant community of like minded individuals.
Looking forward to continuing this project this year, I was sad to hear that Gwen would not be hosting the online event.Not one to give up, I knew I had to get to work. Chatting with my friend Tiffany Moore yesterday, we brainstormed ways that we could continue Reverb11 with set intentions of it being fun and easy. And so here we are, welcome to day 1 of Reverb11!
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!).
We’ve only had a day to pull this together so this project is a work in progress!
The first prompt was my favorite prompt from last year so we have decided to recycle it! It’s posted below for your reference.
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?

Hi Carolyn,
I like the idea of consciously creating our lives instead of blindly moving forward without any real, clear cut goals. I believe that so many are now realizing that we all have the ability to create the life our dreams.
take care…
I am so glad to see Reverb11! I took part last year and thought there wouldn’t be one this year.
I will have to play catch-up now!

I really enjoyed Reverb10, so I’m thrilled you’re taking this on. I’m a few days behind, but I’ll get there. :)
I love the new buttons! (Thank you for continuing the reverbs, Carolyn.)
Thanks so much for hosting this. Last week I looked all over hoping to find this year’s version and learned there were no such plans so I was going to do it on my own based on last year’s prompts. Now I don’t have to do it solo.
