Coming Up:
Appearing at 92nd Street Y February 16, 2012 with Ree Drummond, Kathryn Finney and Sarah Brokaw.
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!

I was in yoga the other day. I was in full lotus position. My chakras were all aligned. My mind is cleared of all clutter and I’m looking out of my third eye and everything that I’m supposed to be doing. It’s amazing what comes up, when you sit in that silence: “Mama keeps whites [...]

I, on the other hand, while confident, am not only camera-shy, but one of those people who always manages to get caught in my sweatpants [...]

Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting so….get on your way! — Dr. Seuss I hate this blog this week. I am not going to lie. It was only Week 6 and I just didn’t or couldn’t seem to do “something big” that would be universally defined as “unique” or adrenaline-inducing or even potentially [...]
