I cannot believe I just typed "2013," but that's because it's technically 2012 and I only recently stopped signing checks 2008, because that seems to be the year I stopped, um, remembering stuff.

Anyway.

This year at The Band Back Together Project, we realized we had to get organized. And stop signing our checks 2008.

Here's what you can expect this year as far as world tour themes and writing topics! Can't wait to see what you've got for us, The Band!

January:

World Tour Theme: "One Day I'm Gonna." Dreams. We all have them. Some dreams are as simple as getting a full night's sleep or getting an extra twenty minutes in at the gym. Others are more complicated - going back to school, making partner at your firm, taking that dream cruise through Alaska. But we all have them. Sometimes, our dreams are what keep us going through the very darkest of times. 

So what are your dreams, The Band? What will you do one day?

February:

World Tour Theme: "Project Happy!" It's time to bring the happy back - how do you keep your happy alive? What makes you happiest?

March:

World Tour Theme: "Project Self-Care/Self-Love." How do you take care of yourself? How do you manage to do the little things when life feels overwhelming? Share some of your coping strategies and the little ways you take care of YOU!

April:

World Tour Theme: "Take Back The Power." Most of us, well, we've been through some garbage in our lives - and we've given power to a lot of people who simply don't deserve it. It's time to take back the power - why don't you tell us about how you came through it all... and survived.

May:

World Tour Theme: "I Am The Face Of..." One of the most important things we can do in our lives is to share our experiences so that we can learn, heal, and grow. What are you the face of?

June:

World Tour Theme: "Project Me." By a certain age, we're all expected to have figured out who we are and what we want in life. Unfortunately, that's not always so easy, with all the pressing demands that life places on us. So what makes you, well, YOU? What do you want from your life? What makes you unique? Who are you, really?

July:

World Tour Theme: "Project Simplify." Studies have shown that reducing the clutter in your home leads to greater levels of happiness. So what do you want to get rid of? How can you simplify your life? And we're not just talking about your bedroom getting cleaner - how can you simplify your daily life?
