The 52 Weeks
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. We hope to inspire many others to get better, get moving or get over it!

Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass lipstick. – Gwyneth Paltrow I just read in Real Simple magazine that the average woman spends about 8 years shopping during her lifetime. That’s pretty amazing. I thought about this statistic for a moment and suddenly felt grouchy: during the [...]

You’re in pretty good shape for the shape you’re in. — Dr. Seuss Lately I’ve been looking for a different sport or type of exercise to explore (the running didn’t last–see post). I really want to check this off of my “52“. It’s just that trying something new can sometimes be a little daunting. So [...]

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.

Karen and I have been progressing through our “52″ for 16 weeks now and while we’ve both had some similar experiences and outcomes, they have always been parallel. She does her thing and I do mine — until now. It’s one thing to be there for a friend embarking on a journey in spirit but [...]

The first two visits were easy. In the past three weeks, I’ve been lucky enough to see two very dear and usually faraway friends.
