Reverb 10
December 7 – Community
Prompt: Community. Where have you discovered community, online or otherwise, in 2010? What community would you like to join, create or more deeply connect with in 2011?

I am not usually one who participates. I am more a listener than a leader. I like to listen, think and absorb information before I figure out how to use it. This year, however, I have found myself to be very bored. And just listening and absorbing isn't quite enough. I've taken two e-courses this year, that have required me to do more than just listen. Holly Becker of Decor8's Blogging Your Way course is a therapy session and blogging boot camp. She really does get to the heart of who you are through reflection, writing and photography, and I found the community of fellow student bloggers to be quite supportive. I knew when I took the course that I was unclear about my goals, but I became almost painfully aware, of just how stuck in my own muck I actually was. This "stuck-ness" led me to a second e-course led by Susannah Conway called Unravelling. This is a fantastic course for those of us needing a bit more self-examination in a gentle and encouraging environment. It can be frightening to uncover the crap you buried at one time for very good reasons. It can also be very liberating to shine a light on said crap and be done with it. It is extraordinarily comforting to do this work with a community of like minded, kind and inspiring fellow Unravellers.
I have found in 2010, an incredibly supportive community online, and more specifically within the e-course environment.
In 2011, I hope to continue to find support from my Unravelling friends. And after I have answered some of my heavily weighted life questions (as in what comes next?!), I want to revisit my Blogging Your Way notes, and find a more cohesive voice for my blog. At the moment, it reflects exactly who I am, confused and somewhat random, but that's okay, I am who I am. I have signed up for a new e-course in 2011 called Mondo Beyondo and hope to find like-minded energetic fellow dreamers who will support my search for more meaning and presence in the new year.
