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!

“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.

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, [...]

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.

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 [...]

This past weekend was supposed to be the proverbial trek to Las Vegas with “the girls”. You know, that time-honored getaway that so many “women of a certain age” often go on. It’s been in the pipeline and on my list of “52″ for quite some time, and it would have been the first time [...]
