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!
