#reverb10

I am 15 days late to join Reverb 10, but better late than never, right? Now that my wine class is over and I am spending allllll day at my computer doing freelance work, job hunting, and blogging, I thought I would do my best to participate in the latter half of Reverb 10.

What is Reverb 10 (or in Twitter speak #reverb10)?

Reverb 10 is an annual event and online initiative to reflect on your year and manifest what’s next. Use the end of your year as an opportunity to reflect on what’s happened, and to send out reverberations for the year ahead. With Reverb 10 – and the 31 prompts our authors have created for you – you’ll have support on your journey.

In a time of year where things get crazy, I think it will be a great challenge to focus on mindfulness for a post each day leading up to the New Year. Are you doing Reverb 10, or would you like to start with me?

Today’s Prompt: 5 Minutes

Imagine you will completely lose your memory of 2010 in five minutes. Set an alarm for five minutes and capture the things you most want to remember about 2010.

Here are mine.

Sunrise in the Scottsdale desert, underground dining in majestic Prague, Valentine’s Day dinner with my family,  birthday wine tasting and meeting Top Chef Kevin in Napa and Sonoma, each and every step of the 2010 Boston Marathon, a girls’ weekend getaway on Cape Cod, various events where I met new friends through blogging and Twitter, my husband’s birthday on Lake Sonoma, a Berkshire wedding weekend with good friends, Foodbuzz Festival and another wine country adventure, the first time I held my baby nephew, Harrison, Thanksgiving with my family, and finally, tonight or this weekend when I get to hold my new niece for the first time!

Blogging is such a blessing in that it helps me to remember so many of the things I want to remember most.

What are your most memorable moments of 2010? If you are doing Reverb 10, feel free to post a link!
