I volunteered to produce the slide show for the big party, and collected photos from folks I hadn't seen in 30 years. I made the reservation in January, and I wanted to show up to that event looking and feeling powerful, like someone who is living the life they want to live and living it well. It made me feel important and needed, and I certainly like to be important and needed!Īt the same time, I had another event to respond to this year: my 30th high school reunion in June.
It took a good 6 months to hire someone, and even since then, I have continued to respond to the need to train the new person and help produce proposals for the rest of the year. I arranged my schedule to be at work whenever needed for deadlines, interviews with prospective coordinators, meetings, whatever needed my response. I worked many more hours than I was accustomed to working, and produced several quality proposals and shortlist interview presentation materials. When my boss-lady, senior marketing coordinator Brooke, resigned in January to become a personal trainer, I responded to the call to fill in for her. That word sums up a lot about what 2010 was about for me. It's a tough one, boiling the year down to its essence.įor 2010 I came up with: respond. After mulling it over all morning, I was still struggling for one word to define this year. One word for 2010, one word I am hoping will define 2011. Now, imagine it’s one year from today, what would you like the word to be that captures 2011 for you?
