This blog was created by two friends who made a pledge to try something new, fun, challenging, or even ridiculous every week for a year. At times, life got in the way, but we forged ahead. Our stories have educated, entertained or inspired many. In 2012, we hope to inspire many others to get better, get moving or get over it!

If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass. – Fran Lebowitz Anyone who has been following my exploits these first few [...]

Or how about starting a diet? Best intentions. Monday, you’re ambitious; Tuesday, you’re in the groove. Second week, you’ve lost a pound [...]
