#reverb11
In 2010 Gwen Bell continued to build a community around reflecting on the past year + setting the intention for the year ahead though a system of e-mail prompts by authors, artists, bloggers, photographers, coaches and so many more. This year the project was handed over to the community.
I’m one of many lovely people who are publishing prompts. I’ll share some of my own prompts + some from other members.
There are many elements of this project that I respect so much; the simplicity of the emails, the beauty of the content, and the supportive community that was built. I hope to continue these pieces in a way that is complimentary to what was built.
You can come back here to the prompts I’ve sent out each day.
You can sign up to get them delivered to your inbox.
How can you participate?
- Respond to the daily prompts on your blog, v-log, in your journal or maybe even send yourself an E-mail for more privacy
- If you’d like to share simply tweet your post with the tag #reverb11
- If you have a prompt you want to share please send it to me
- Comment + engage on each others responses
- Get or create a badge for you blog
That’s it. The focus is on the art of doing it and being inside of the process. I combine my #reverb11 with my December Daily.
Thank you for reverb-ing with us! My posts are linked on the dates below!
