By Carlee Mallard, on December 8th, 2010 #reverb10 December 7th prompt: Community.
Community has been such a significant keyword in my life throughout 2010 that I had to mindmap everything I could think of relating to community in my life this past year (hence the image to the left). Yea, a lot, right?
First of all, to answer the first part of today’s #reverb10 prompt, “Where have you discovered community, online or otherwise, in 2010?” Believe it or not, online communities often help formulate IRL relationships. I know, hard to believe that having profound, intelligent, and sometimes emotional conversations in an online community could move you . . . → Read More: Recognizing Essential Communities
By Carlee Mallard, on December 7th, 2010 You’re like “What the hell is a PechaKucha” right? First of all, it’s Japanese for “chit-chat” pronounced something along the lines of: ‘peh-CHAK-cha’
Nobody says it the same way, so whatever. I’ll move to what it is. Basically it’s an event featuring 8-12 speakers giving a presentation about something they’re passionate about in any way they like as long as it involves 20 {graphic} slides that each advance automatically every 20 seconds. Meaning each presentation is only 6 minutes and 40 seconds (20×20). Topics vary quite a bit from spoken poetry (complemented by photographs on each slide) to special . . . → Read More: I Made a PechaKucha {presentation}
By Carlee Mallard, on December 6th, 2010 Letting go of people and things that are second-nature in your every day life or that once carried
significant meaning to you is difficult. While I let go of a lot of a lot this year—an old boyfriend who got engaged early this year, the home I grew up in, and a lot of my “stuff that had accumulated over the years—one thing stands out the most in having contributed to my subsequent growth and maturity more than anything else.
Drama. I sort of hate that word though because people are always saying, “I’m drama-free” or “I don’t need any drama . . . → Read More: Let Go

By Carlee Mallard, on November 2nd, 2010 Happy birthday to me.
No more early 20’s for me. Today I’m 25 years old. They say that my brain should be fully developed by now – that I should be the person I’m likely going to be for the rest of my life.
I finally know who I am, what I’m not, what I value and what I don’t, who matters & who doesn’t, and what work I’m passionate about. Of course none of this happened overnight. I didn’t just turn 25 and everything became clear. No, but I do think that a lot of this discovery took . . . → Read More: Happy Birthday to Me! (and my blog)

I’m in the middle of something amazing right now. If you asked me a few months ago if . . . → Read More: Guest Post: Creating a Carrot Kind of World
By Carlee Mallard, on October 14th, 2010 Background…
If you follow my blog you probably know that my true and dearest sister, Rianna, moved to NYC without a job or a place to live (only a one-way plane ticket) at the end of August.
Wanting to help her succeed and really not knowing how, I did what I thought best: I dedicated a blog post to her telling all of the internet how amazingly talented she is and that everyone should befriend her.
The outpouring of niceness from New York residents surprised both of us. Yes, people all over New York actually invited her to meetups, . . . → Read More: How This Blog Got My Sister A Job
By Carlee Mallard, on October 9th, 2010 On October 19th in downtown Raleigh I’m hosting the first ever meetup of the Triangle Community of Developing Careerists. We hope to establish a base community of developing careerists that we can build upon for future meetups, create meaningful relationships through a group activity, and discuss future directions for the group.
This meetup will be structured, yet casual.
The evening will be broken up as follows:
