Greetings from GeniAus

 

I took this photo when driving in country Australia with Mr GeniAus in January 2024. It reminds us that many of the Northern Hemisphere images we see in the Festive Season in Australia are not relevant to family life downunder.

Apologies to the people on King Island in Tasmania. After creating this image I checked the metadata for the photo and discovered it was actually taken in King Island not Narrabri. As a genie I should have checked 

Accentuate the Positive 2025 Geneameme

 

Back in 2012 I decided to publish the first Accentuate the Positive Geneameme. I had seen several genies reflecting on their failures and wanted them to celebrate their successes. I said:

"You are a bunch of highly motivated people who have made great strides in the genealogy sphere. Let's share the good news."

For the 2025 challenge I have decided to move away from prompts that relate to particular situations and resources to a list focusing on our reactions to particular verbs as we reflect on our family history journey.

I encourage you to respond on social media or in a text document to the prompts from the list below  - please delete the statements that are not relevant to your situation.

Once you have done so please share your post's link in a comment on this post or send your link or text document  via email to jillballau@gmail.com or via social media. I will, when I return from the high seas in late January, compile a list of links to your contributions here on this blog. 

Remember to Accentuate the Positive
