Yesterday I had a party where 25 people wore stickers listing 5 of their goals. As you can see from the pic, some were goofy, some serious. But all of them got people chatting away!
Now I want to order a bunch of these stickers for people to use at parties. Or convert "My name is" stickers into a version where you can connect based on your goals! (Lots of people didn’t know what they wanted to do and after browsing SuperViva, they came up with cool ideas.) In fact at the party I came up with some new fun ideas (a pie throwing contest and typing event) I just added to my life list.
Just some of the things that came out of the party:
- 3 people who previously knew each other found out they had backgrounds in aviation.
- One woman works in the same school district as my friend, and I’m going to fix them up!
- A guy who wants to go to Brazil learned someone else there was Brazilian and of course that I was a font of Brazilophilia, so got a bunch of tips.
- I learned I can do a 1 handed push up, which I tried after hearing someone had it as her goal.
- One goal that struck me as very neat was "to be more childlike in how I see things." Someone suggested crawling on all fours like a baby - that something about seeing things at eye level would change her perspective. My suggestion was to be a freak and not care what people think (spoken from my personal experience, ha ha). Well sort of ha ha.
Thrilling feedback:
"The "Life-Storm" theme was a
nice twist. It was really interesting talking to everyone about
their different goals - I do think the conversations were more
personal and revealing than they might have been at another type of
party! It seems we all have things we’d like to work on, and it
helps to write them down and focus on what we’d really like to do
and where we’d really like to go with our lives, short or long
term. I know that some of the conversations that were started last night
will be continuing as we try to support each other in reaching our
goals! I hope we do this again sometime! "
"For myself, my daughter and I just came home from our second service together in a
row and yesterday I found out my sisters’ awesome
Dance is starting a Capoeira class this summer. There’s 2 of my 5 goals revealed within the weekend!! With the Yosemite trip in July, I am confident that
I’ll complete my list. It’s exciting to see the
Universe manifest your desires but I’m always tickled
when it happens so quickly. I hope everyone else has as much fun as I did."
"I thought something for my 4th line, See the
Grand Canyon and/or Hawaii!"
