Reverb10: New Name

Tuesday, December 28th, 2010

New name. Let’s meet again, for the first time. If you could introduce yourself to strangers by another name for just one day, what would it be and why? “Hi, I’m Stephanie.” I have always love the name Stephanie which means crown. In my days of being part of MUDs (yes, yes, I know that [...]

Salving the CTWS (Christmas Tree Withdrawal Syndrome)

Monday, December 27th, 2010

As the horrible pre-Christmas bug laid us low and the tonne of snow prevented us from reaching the Christmas tree farm, we do not have any photos of kittens climbing the tree and such loveliness of years gone by. We did, though, manage to make it to Leeds Castle on Friday for what is becoming [...]

Prompt: Photo – a present to yourself. Sift through all the photos of you from the past year. Choose one that best captures you; either who you are, or who you strive to be. Find the shot of you that is worth a thousand words. Share the image, who shot it, where, and what it [...]

Reverb10: Travel

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

Travel. How did you travel in 2010? How and/or where would you like to travel next year? I didn’t travel a lot in 2010 but when I did it was a high point in what has been a very difficult year. It was more about quality than quantity. I spent a few days in France [...]

Reverb10: Future Self

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

Future Self. Imagine yourself five years from now. What advice would you give your current self for the year ahead? (Bonus: Write a note to yourself 10 years ago. What would you tell your younger self?) (Author: Jenny Blake) Today’s Reverb10 is a good one – it is something I’ve been thinking about for the [...]

Reverb10: Make

Monday, December 20th, 2010

I looked at today’s questions and think I’ll need a little longer to think about them so I’ve picked another question from earlier in the month instead 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 [...]

Reverb10: Healing

Sunday, December 19th, 2010

I’ve decided to participate in a blog initiative called Reverb 10 which gives you daily prompts throughout December to help you reflect on the past year and think about the new year to come. Given how I’d be feeling earlier this month the theme for today really resonated with me. What healed you this year? [...]
