 The Year of _______________ ...

It was a no-brainer tagging 2009 - The Year of Igniting Business. However, 2010 is not as easy. First, we want to continue igniting business. The idea of igniting business is more than a one year gig Than we were thinking of covering the community end of our network and name 2010 - The Year of Making the World a Better Place <3 <3 <3. It's needed, BUT that would make too many eyes roll and while a beautiful thought, we don't like to hear any snickering. The Chinese New Year is ringing in The Year of the Tiger, we appreciate the ROOAAAARRRRRRR!!! aspect of it, but don't like to borrow taglines. Than we were thinking 2010 - The Year of Being ...  FOCUSED!!!  We'd like that, but it's  not enough  to carry an entire year. As you can see, LOTS of choices, but none take the prize. So we leave it to you. Whatever you choose to tag 2010 ... make it a great one!!!
