Greetings!
December 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? (Author: Gwen Bell) #reverb10
You have asked me for one word to sum up 2010.
That is not an easy task, tho’ at first it might seem as if it should be so.
We haven’t gone much of anywhere, or, as seen from the outside, done much of anything.
But that would not be true, if you could see on the inside of things.
On the inside of things, we have been growing and changing and expanding, oh my!
We have been plunging headlong into a new way of life, Web 2.0, the Third Tribe, and going forth!
So, if pressed to choose just one word to describe the year just past, I would say:
Expansion.
We have expanded so many things:
- our notions of what is possible
- our understanding of the current tech
- our understanding of how to run a Third-Tribe-based business
- our worldview
- our hopes, Dreams, and aspirations
- our confidence
- our belief
- our network
- our possibilities
- our world
We are humbled & blessed by all the ways the Universe has chosen to help us out as we step into our larger mission: that of helping people fly beyond their fear, whether it is of putting pixels on the page, of spreading one’s wings to fly, of the unknown lying beyond the everyday.
So with that, I would say that our word for 2011 would be:

Welcome
I wasn’t sure, until I was setting down our ‘Love Letters to our Wrong & Right Peeps’ so that I could post here tonight.
As I chose the pics for our Right Peeps, I realized that, yes, ‘Welcome’ is our word.
Some things we want to be welcoming in next year:
- prosperity
- a new & happy home
- a stable of wondrous, help-full products
- our Tribe of wonderful friends, clients, customers
- an easy & stress-free move
- our new packmembers for Bailey (our Basset Hound) and Mage (our tuxie cat)
- the Avian Empire in all its kooky glory :>
- that or better!
The world is a wondrous place, and truly one’s oyster.
Pluck forth the pearl of a great life & fly free, friends!
Happy Muse-ings!
