User:Rosiestep/100wikidays

Learning Days, Wikimania 2016, May on my right, Vassia on my left. Hadn't comitted to #100wikidays yet but was thinking about it.

Inspiration

22 June 2016: At Wikimania Esino Laria Pre-conference, I sat at a table with Vassia and when I left the building, I committed to her that I'll participate in m:100wikidays! I started out thinking #100wikidays would be a lark. Write an article a day? Sure! No worries! Tralalalala!

Update

30 September 2016: It has been quite a journey for me.

I wrote the first article on 6/22/16 during Wikimania Learning Days in Esino Lario regarding one of the village's churches. It was a translation from the Italian article. Seemed fitting. While I walked to dinner that night, I heard that church's church bells ringing and I looked up at the church, and I thought, "it is a sign!". I didn't know what it was a sign of, but to me, it felt very positive and I remember feeling very happy listening to those bells.

The next morning, 6/23, the first day of Wikimania, I heard Jimmy name me co-WOTY (thank you from the bottom of my heart), and later that day, I was asked if I was agreeable about being a co-grantee /co-organizer for WikiConference North America 2016. Both of these events have dramatically changed my life. I've been pulled in many directions as a result of this, often involving late night calls during the week with our organizing team. They've heard me say, over and over again, "I have to hop off the call and go write my article of the day". They, and my partner, have been supportive; and that has meant a lot to me, and I couldn't have gotten through 100wikidays without the support.

In the midst of these 100 days, two major personal events occurred: I sold my house (I'm moving back to Northern California next month) and I announced my retirement, after 26 years, to my employer. #yay! Now, 100 days later, I figured out what the "sign" meant when those church bells were ringing on 6/22. They were foretelling that while my life would change dramatically in the next 100 days -in very wonderful, albeit sometimes stressful ways- I could count on one constant in my life, and that was the quiet time I'd give every day to writing a Wikipedia article. And for that and all the other wonderful blessings of my life, I am truly grateful.
