I had completely forgotten about the Geneameme I posted for 2012, 2013 and 2014 until I came across this post from Copper Leaf Genealogy in which she used my Accentuate the Positive Geneameme to reflect on her progress.
When something has been running for three years it's nearly a tradition - four years in a row should make it one. In the hope that some of you will find this a useful instrument to reflect on your past year's achievements I am sharing below my post from last year. You can see last years's responses here.
Let's do it again!
In 2012 and 2013 I invited other family historians to take part in an Accentuate the Positive Geneameme because I felt that a lot of my geneablogging friends were too hard on themselves. Quite often they lament that haven't achieved as much as they set out to do or that they haven't blogged with the frequency they envisaged.
Yesterday I read a post from Alona Tester that mentioned those geneamemes and that prompted me to run it again. Thanks, Alona.
