Resound11 Prompt 06: Thelma & Louise

So far you’ve summed up the year in one word, admitted your vices, touted your virtues, revealed your superpower, and let us in on your theme song, but no superhero does it alone …

Who is the Thelma to your Louise? Who is your partner in crime? Did you reacquaint yourself with an old friend? Did you make a new friend? Or, perhaps, you are a lone ranger?

Take some time today to look back on how you spent your year and give a shout out to anyone that helped to make it special. If you don’t have any close friends that fit the bill, think about who you spend your time with on a regular basis, who is the bright spot in your day? Maybe you joke around with a coworker just to get through the day. Maybe the barista who serves your coffee knows your order by heart and/or knows when to suggest you mix it up. Who makes your life just a little bit better just by being themselves?

How will you resound? Follow along here.

I think those mentioned in the virtues prompt, best fit in this section. Would it be horrible to call Josh, my Thelma? ha! He is my partner in crime most days.

For women, I’d have to go with my creative ladies group, more specifically Carly and Sarah. Who I over share with on a regular basis. They are my creative partners in crime.

Resound11 Prompt 01: One Word

What is one word to describe your 2011? Why does that word sum up your year? (We’ll be writing about our one word for 2012 later, so just focus on this year!)

(follow along here)

I couldn’t resist following along with the blog girls. These questions are difficult for me to answer. All the more reason to participate.

The word for 2011 would be: Mistakes. I don’t mean for that to sound negative as I’m a firm believer in making lots of mistakes. I believe that mistakes are essential to growth and knowledge. I learned a lot this year.

I made a lot of mistakes this year. A lot. I had lots of failed ideas. I started way too many projects. I didn’t have a plan. I stopped and started so many times. I got people involved in my big ideas. I said yes when I should have said no. I trusted way too easily. I said more than I should have on more than one occasion. I let go of my privacy. I let my ideals and virtues slide. I took shortcuts and skipped steps. I put my self-worth in the hands of others. I let anger and hurt linger too long. I can’t think of another recent year where I’ve made more mistakes and I’m thankful that I can see them for what they are. I’m forgiving myself.
