Gift

Reverb 10 Prompt (from Holly Root): This month, gifts and gift-giving can seem inescapable. What’s the most memorable gift, tangible or emotional, you received this year?

This being the second-to-last day of Reverb 10, I want to make sure I don’t forget to thank Gwen Bell, Cali Harris, and Kaileen Elise for putting this whole thing together and giving me an opportunity to interact with so many wonderful people over the course of this month. It’s been a heck of a great ride. Every single person who commented on my posts or gave me a shout-out on Twitter — each one of you gave me a gift for which I am most grateful. I’m sorry to have lost track of some of you as the days marched on. Things were blowing up exponentially for a while there, and I became overwhelmed by all the connections I wanted to maintain. Many of you came back to visit me again and again, and it’s because of you I was able to dig as deep as I did to get the most out of these reflections. Many of us will drop off each other’s radar screens after tomorrow. Some of us will stay in touch, become friends, maybe even meet in person one day. Who knows what the new year will usher in. In any event, thank you all for the gifts of your acknowledgement and feedback. You’re all tangibly, emotionally, memorably, and inescapably awesome.
