Ok, so this picture isn't great but the concept is BRILLIANT! Yesterday the company I work for held its bi-weekly staff meeting and because we had almost all of our national and international staff present, we made a conscious effort to get to know one another.
One of the activities we all participated in was to write down five important events that have happened in our lives on sticky notes and post them on a timeline drawn on the wall, forming a very simple yet cool piece of art that we all contributed in making.
There were marriages, trips to foreign countries, births of children and even the losses of loved ones. From a conceptual standpoint, the idea as fantastic. What a wonderful tool for reflecting on poignant moments of our pasts.
For the purpose of my office and coworkers, we used it to get to know one another a little better. But for the purpose of Grateful Brand, I want to encourage you to incorporate this design into your homes, reflecting upon something you are grateful for, for each year you have been alive. You can literally write on the walls as we have done in my office or you can design your own smaller version and perhaps even frame it.
I will be sharing my timeline of gratitude soon.
