Reverb 10 12/1 (a day late)

After reading some other bloggers who are doing this, I decided to give it a shot too.  I liked doing NaBloPoMo (for funsies), so this should be fun and will motivate me to post something more substantial than a couple of pictures...  This is me participating in Reverb 10.

I'm a day late in starting.  Here is yesterday's prompt:

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?

2010:  Next. 

Most of 2010 was about thinking about what comes NEXT.  What's my next step when this 2 year safe job ends?  Where do I go next?  What happens next?  What will I choose next?  Who will I meet next?  

So far, I'm in love with all of the results of what NEXT brought.  It brought Chicago, Victory Gardens, new people, new roommates, new challenges, new shows, etc!

2011:  Success.

In the coming months, I plan on focusing a lot on work and making a successful career for myself here in Chicago.  Success doesn't necessarily mean lots of money.  It just means making a happy life doing what I love and (hopefully) being able to make ends meet.  Success means opening doors and new opportunities.  Here's hoping!
