Behind the Door

Have you ever wondered what the future holds?Hey, join the club, Bubba; sooner or later we all do. It’s sorta like wondering what’s behind this big blue door.

Well, wonder no more! For those of you who may have been wondering what happened to our monthly What I Learned From… groupwrite projects, I’m pleased to announce I’m kicking off the first one for 2010 on next Monday, February 1! (sound of crowd cheering enthusiastically)

The topic will be (sound of drum roll) What I Learned From Children

Now, for those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, here’s the deal:

If you’d like to participate, all you have to do is write a post (or link to an existing post) that addresses the topic. Something you learned from, because of, or with the topic du jour (which in this case is, of course, children). Post it on your blog by the project close on Sunday night at midnight, CST (-6 GMT), Feb. 7. Then send me an email with the link (so I don’t miss it). I’ll collect them all and post them right here at the Zone on Monday, Feb. 8.

It’s a great way to have some fun, gain a few links, discover other writers both new and old (hey, who you callin’ old?), and maybe even learn a thing or two. Plus, you get to join the hundreds of entries already submitted for past WILF projects!

Please give some serious thought to joining us, won’t you?

    Great topic Robert! Though another one might be… what I learned behind the door… which is what I thought it was going to be ;-)

    @Joanna – That would be a funny twist, wouldn’t it? :-)

    Robert,
    Can’t wait to participate on this one. I’ve taken over a year hiatus on my own blog, and am finally ready to get it jumpstarted again. Can’t think of a better way than to share some stories of leadership lessons I’ve learned from my two girls! I’m glad to see you are still doing these “What I Learned From…….” projects

    @Eric – Great to have you back in the blogging world, Eric! Don’t forget to tell your friends, too!

    Oh this one will be a cinch! I’ve learned that I can be as silly as a 2 year old. ;-) Good choice Robert, children in their innocence teach us so much!

    @Karen – Can’t we all? I can’t imagine anyone not bein’ qualified to write on this one. Be sure to tell your friends!

    Oh, amazing. I always believed that we have a lot to learn from children. This is surely going to be a lovely twist to experiment with. Cool!
