See the mop in the photo above? I can just imagine a lonely janitor grabbing it, then breaking into a song and dance number about the girl he loves but is too shy to woo – can’t you? Of course, I have seen a lot of musicals this year, which could explain why my mind wandered in that direction. But still, that is one wiggy looking mop in my opinion. I kept hoping that a guerilla theatrical production would ensue, something along the lines of The Sound of Music in Antwerp Grand Central Station, West Side Story on the streets…

Today’s Reverb 10 prompt comes from Sam Davidson , who wrote the book 50 Things Your Life Doesn’t Need. What are 11 things your life doesn’t need in 2011? How will you go about eliminating them? How will getting rid of these 11 things change your life? I bopped around to see what others plan to rid of in 2011 and to see which things resonated most with me. Ones that I am adding to my own list are in bold type. What I found is that, as usual, Reverb 10 folks interpret the daily prompt in all sorts of ways.…
The Reverb 10 prompt for December 10, 2010 comes from Susannah Conway, author of Unravelling Prompt: Wisdom. What was the wisest decision you made this year, and how did it play out? For Lois Kelly, learning how to do nothing was her wisest move in 2010. Brooke Farmer realized this year that: Conventional wisdom is mostly bullshit and will not make you happy. Or, at least, it won’t make me happy. So this year I having been making lot’s of bad decisions and I am, so far, very happy with the progress I’ve made. Dev made a conscious choice to…
In keeping with December’s NaBloPoMo zeitgeist theme: While grocery shopping the other day, I kept bumping into one buzzword after another. Take the photo above, for example. Isn’t it funny how just about any product can be a ‘solution’ these days? Also, have you noticed how many coaching businesses there are these days? Nothing against coaching. Seems like a fine idea, and all. I like the idea of having somebody who is on your side, helping you out, coaching you towards success. I just wonder why the explosion of coaches. What changed? As is my tendency, I started daydreaming. “If…
While I find the Reverb 10 prompts thought-provoking, I have not posted my responses to any of them yet, mainly because I am still mulling them over. Here’s one that I can blab about, however: The Reverb 10 prompt for December 6th, 2010 came from Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project 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 it? Here are a few things that other bloggers doing Reverb 10 recently made: Jyllian made the “still beating heart of…
Have you ever been somewhere that just felt happy? That’s the feeling I got from the island of Nassau in the Bahamas. It’s hard to explain, but the happiness wasn’t coming just from me. Sure, I was happy that day, but it was hot, humid, and I didn’t feel well. Even so, that little island was the most welcoming place. There was happiness coming at me from every direction! It’s not like we did anything particularly special that day, either. We walked all over, explored historical sites, and I drank fresh coconut milk, but as I say, there was more…
