It is already 2010, and I did not complete the “Best of 2009″ Challenge at the required time.  However, as part of my new year philosophy I have decided it is not about doing everything perfectly — my new goals are to finish, to participate, to commit to joy, and learn to love the imperfect perfection — so here we go. . .

December 21 Project. What did you start this year that you’re proud of?

Ken’s Answer: Learning to understand my voice by taking singing lessons.

Laura’s Answer: Stepping into the new area of social media with GlobalMojo.

December 22 Startup. What’s a business that you found this year that you love? Who thought it up? What makes it special?

Laura’s Answer: www.globalmojo.com.  One of my favorite client’s right now.  It is the first web browser for the socially conscious web user.  They donate 50% of their gross revenue to charities and schools.  I love mixing my passion for technology and my passion for philanthropy into smart business.

December 23 Web tool. It came into your work flow this year and now you couldn’t live without it. It has simplified or improved your online experience.

Laura’s Answer: Ping.fm: One status to update all my social media needs. It isn’t new, but trying to update all of my personal, professional, and now a client’s social media networks can get a little overwhelming.

December 24 Learning experience. What was a lesson you learned this year that changed you?

Ken’s Answer: TV stinks.

Laura’s Answer:  Fake it till you make it.  Just keeping saying that you want to learn a new skill.  Start giving yourself a title and sooner or later — you become your goal.

December 25 Gift. What’s a gift you gave yourself this year that has kept on giving?

Laura’s Answer:  I gave myself the gift of doing my best and letting that be good enough — even when it wasn’t perfect.  I didn’t train as well as I would have liked for my triathlon in August, but I completed the race, finished ahead of my goal time, and had a great race in the process.  lucky me.

December 26 Insight or aha! moment. What was your epiphany of the year?

Laura’s Answer: I always lived by the mantra “if you ask for nothing you get it every time.” However, I didn’t always live by the other side of the coin by asking for what I want or need.  I’ve been trying to ask for what I want this year — and no one is more surprised than me, but I have actually got what I asked for, AND the world didn’t end.  aha!

December 27 Social web moment. Did you meet someone you used to only know from her blog? Did you discover Twitter?

Laura’s Answer: Gwen Bell & Danielle LaPorte.  I had the opportunity to meet both of them in Vacouver BC.  I have always admired their writing and their career’s journey.  It was a wonderful pleasure to spend an afternoon listening and learning from them.  Way awesome!

December 28 Stationery. When you touch the paper, your heart melts. The ink flows from the pen. What was your stationery find of the year?

Laura’s Answer: Big, Bold, Lovely Note Cards and Vintage florals by Galison (Ken gave them to me for Christmas!)

December 29 Laugh. What was your biggest belly laugh of the year?

Laura’s Answer: Probably talking with my sister on the phone.  However, one night Ken & I started giggling in bed watching the Daily Show.  Even after we tunred off the light I could hear him laugh in the darkness.  “I hate this book!”

December 30 Ad. What advertisement made you think this year?

Laura’ Answer: The Fun Theory.

December 31 Resolution you wish you’d stuck with. (You know, there’s always next year…)

Laura’s Answer:  Find a consistent spiritual practice & community.
