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!

Cheers to a new year and another chance to get it right. – Oprah Winfrey It’s the beginning of a new year and time for that yearly ritual when many of us size things up, make resolutions, throw out the “old ways”, promise to bring in “the new” and start all over again. Don’t worry, [...]

My grandmother was a Jewish juggler: she used to worry about six things at once. – Richard Lewis Last week my father-in-law died. It was so sudden that I need to create a new word to describe it. One minute we were lighting the Chanukah candles on the East Coast and the next minute we [...]

This is our first guest post! The following post was written by R. Sanders. Our blog inspired her to go gliding for the first time as she faced the possible dissolution of her 25-year marriage. This blog is all about trying new things, facing fears, shaking it up. I don’t think it gets any braver [...]

Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the things you can think up if only you try!– Dr. Seuss Here I go again with the French stuff. Despite having yet to make it to Paris (read about this ongoing quest), I continuously find myself drawn to French food, vintage French [...]

Maybe it was because Halloween was around the corner. I’m not really sure. But this past week, for the first time, I went for a Tarot card reading. What made it even more unusual is that the reading took place while I was away with some friends for an annual “spa” getaway sans significant others, [...]

This week I discovered that Dr. Seuss was actually wrong once. He said, “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” I know what he is trying to say. I just think he’s wrong. The fact is, we all say too much [...]

Initially, there really was an exciting plan in mind. I did my homework, I thought I was prepared, I was ready to tackle and enjoy another experience on my 52 Week to-do list. Then the blazing heat wave hit NYC making it hard to want to do anything other than be inside, the long July [...]

“Oh, I don’t know how I could have doubted you!” – Porky Pig Now I remember dating. The first date you’re a little nervous; second date, you’re excited; third date, reality sets in. 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 [...]

I wasn’t sure I would ever walk in… It is the brunt of many jokes in my family – how I often say I am going to do something and then don’t. A perfect example is launching this blog. Just the thought of trying something new or different each week for 52 weeks, writing weekly, [...]
