This month I’m participating in reverb10. Every day a new prompt is issued and I will write my response. The goal is to reflect on 2010 and manifest what’s next in 2011. Want to learn more? Visit www.reverb10.com. Since I did not find the site until today December 15th, I will complete 2 per day.
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?

Movement-Jan 1st thru July 19th I had movement of the baby that was growing and development inside of me. I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and since then I have been in “movement”…washing, rinsing, drying everything from bath, to baby and beyond. In the midst of the baby bliss my sister passed away October 5th. She was my only sibling and she lived 450 or so miles away. Again, movement. Traveling, crying, arranging a funeral and traveling some more. A month later I had weight loss surgery…action; action created a new kind of movement, physical movement. Life and it’s ups and downs created movement like healing of the mind, the body and the soul, my soul. 2010 has been swirling in movement from the time I get out of bed every morning to check in on that beautiful baby girl, to sweating every morning from the movement of my body, to movement in loving others, especially my family right now, movement in the dancing and praising that I am doing through the end of this year.
Adaptation is the 2011 word. For all that has happened thus far.

What great words for 2010 and 2011. “Movement” is a lovely way to sum up the changes we weather every year – the opposite would be “stasis” which would be much less hopeful. This year has brought some big changes to you – I like your resilience and hope
