A Dash of Thanks
Today’s ThinkKit prompt: What are you thankful for? Maybe it’s from this year – or maybe it’s something in your past that resonated with you recently.

Recycle For a Stronger Workforce
Today’s ThinkKit prompt: You’ve ranted. You’ve raved. You’ve freestyled, soapboxed, and even waved a magic wand or two. Today, let’s keep it positive. Who (or what) is doing something good?

New York State of Mind
Today’s ThinkKit prompt: Time to go through your (actual) desktop, junk drawer, or coat pockets and share an artifact from your past. A half-torn ticket stub, once-washed receipt, coffee-stained map, anything in a frame: it’s all fair game. What springs to mind from your artifact? The smells, sights, and sounds? A specific feeling? Hold it in your … Continue reading
Lucky Number 30
Today’s ThinkKit prompt: Time to get mathematical – and yes, you may use a calculator. Was there a significant number in your year? A birthday? A first? A personal record?

Did you discover something about a loved one? A familiar or new-to-you place? Be broad, be narrow, or be surprising. While my true passion is photography, getting the … Continue reading
Mulligan
Today’s ThinkKit prompt: We’ve put another quarter in the slot – free play! Hit the reset button on a moment this year: what would you do over?

Monon Booze Cruise
Today’s ThinkKit prompt: Nametags and punchbowls aren’t necessary (but we’re okay with that!) – who did you meet this year? Was it awkward? Enlightening? Was your first impression correct? Was it accidental & meant to be, pre-arranged, or somewhere in-between? Whether you found a soulmate, held a new baby, or finally trusted someone to style your hair … Continue reading
The Haunting of East 42nd Street
Today’s ThinkKit prompt: Time to get weird. We want to hear your strangest story from the last year (or more). Will it make us raise an eyebrow or three? That’s what we want. Whether it’s a tale of colliding coincidences, a strange Saturday you just can’t shake, or if it makes you squirm just to remember: … Continue reading
Let’s Get Together and Feel All Right
Today’s ThinkKit prompt: The calendar still says 2014, but let’s push forward. What are you looking forward to in 2015? Is there an event, special occasion, or reunion that you’re counting down the days until? Planning a trip? A life change? A move? Or maybe it’s the simple pleasures – the release of a movie, something … Continue reading
