I’m participating in Reverb 10, a 31-day online challenge to reflect on 2010 and mentally prepare for 2011. Feel free to read my previous Reverb posts, and follow #reverb10 on Twitter.

December 4 – Wonder.

How did you cultivate a sense of wonder in your life this year?

Laura Kimball responded to today’s prompt by writing about networking and how she finds inspiration in building new relationships, no matter how brief. Sometimes the simplest conversations can set off the proverbial light bulb in our heads. This got me thinking about the awesome people I’ve met at networking events, meetups and tweetups around Phoenix this year.

A few of my favorites:

Buzzcation: Buzzcation was born out of an impromptu happy hour tweetup.  I’m sure you’re wondering what “buzzcation” means. Read the official definition here.

Commpose: I’ve been involved with this copywriting group for about year. The meetups are very relaxed and informal. We held a cool writing workshop (appropriately titled “Writeshop”) last summer.

Ignite Phoenix: Ignite is a unique event hosted in more than 100 cities nationwide. Speakers get five minutes and twenty slides to present virtually any topic they feel passionate about.  The topics topic tend to be very diverse, to say the least. You can watch past presentations here.

Where do you go to meet inspirational people? How have you cultivated a sense of wonder this year?
