Catching up on my ThinkKit prompts from 2014… What one word sums up the past year? Now: unpack, unfold, and uncover it. What does it represent? What events float to the top when you think about your word? And, okay, if you can’t limit yourself to a single word…use a (select) few. Growth. Have you experienced … Continue reading

Wishy-Washy
I fell off the ThinkKit wagon the last week and a half of December. I’m going to blame it on holiday travel, activities and being sick. And general end-of-the-year laziness. So I’m going back through the prompts that I didn’t blog about yet, starting with this one: It’s true, we like you a lot – … Continue reading
Shout at the World
Today’s ThinkKit prompt: If you could make a # (hashtag) take off…what would it be? What conversation do you want to have with the world? Who are the five people you’d want to hear from first…or last? Is your trending topic personal? Political? Lyrical? Or just random? It was like a joke when I was … Continue reading
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. And – we hold people, places, and things in equal regard: a sense of gratefulness can take many forms. I don’t know how to narrow down the things I’m thankful … Continue reading
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? Share a story of your positive action, whether it’s a favorite charity, foundation, or nonprofit – or just an individual whose penchant for do-goodery makes you feel … Continue reading
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? A date now carved in the annals of time? A number that represents a streak, whether winning or losing, good or bad? A bellwether or … Continue reading
Look Outward, Look Inward
Today’s ThinkKit prompt: By telescope or microscope, or no scope at all – what did you discover? A new aspect of yourself? A favorite artist, musician, or variety of cheese? 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? Whether or not you analyze your actions – how would you act differently? Would the outcomes shift, or stay the same? From a single sentence to a whole … Continue reading
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
