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!

She’s ninety-three today and we don’t know where the hell she is.”~ Ellen DeGeneres There is a nature preserve and a trail beyond the backyard and past the deer fence of my weekend getaway house. I look out the kitchen window every time [...]

“A bear, however hard he tries, grows tubby without exercise.” -Winnie-the-Pooh (and A.A. Milne) I looked up the word commitment the other day. It is defined as the act of committing, the state of begin committed; a pledge or undertaking; applying or engaging oneself. There are many kinds of commitments – for work, family, relationships [...]

“It’s not you, it’s me…” “You’re giving me the ‘It’s not you, it’s me’ routine? I invented ‘It’s not you, it’s me.’ Nobody tells me it’s them, not me. If it’s anybody, it’s me.” George, Seinfeld It’s over. I just can’t continue with you on a daily basis – even a weekly basis anymore, at [...]

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 [...]

Do you bake? I don’t, not really. The occasional Tollhouse cookies or birthday cupcakes from a mix, and a key-lime pie a very long time ago, but honestly, I am not much of a baker. I find the mess and the required preciseness of it more stressful than cathartic, although I once read that baking [...]

I downloaded an App from Apple’s iTunes store this week. Not so different, new or exciting? Well, it wasn’t just any App. It was something that represents a big “to do” for me. And then, I actually did it. What did I do? I went running. And I used a silly little App on my [...]

“Don’t underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.” – Winnie-the-Pooh Sometimes old friends can be prophetic.

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 [...]

Leave it to Oprah. Just as I was struggling to find the best words to talk about blueberries and write my first post, I picked up the July issue of O magazine and decided to relax and just do some mindless reading. And there it was: a great article about food, featuring the perfect quote [...]
