For me, turning the corner into 2020, more than ever before, has been about launching a new decade, not just a new year.
I subscribe to artist/author Austin Kleon’s newsletter. Thanks to that, I learned about a fun end-of-the-decade challenge: Malaka Gharib invited Twitter followers to make a tiny zine documenting events, experiences, impressions from 2010-2019. Here’s a link to the challenge:

It includes this link to very clear directions for making a simple zine-let:

Even though the challenge says not to spend more than 20 minutes on it, I did. So much happens in a decade!! I appreciated the opportunity to reflect on the past ten years, and to distill my decade’s experiences into a few words recorded on tiny pages.
