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. This blog is all about trying new things, facing fears, shaking it up. I don’t think it gets any braver […]

Max is a confident, personable guy who is well-suited to be on camera. Good-looking and put together (at least whenever I see him), he always seems to be “camera ready”. 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 […]

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 […]

Maybe it was because Halloween was around the corner. I’m not really sure. But this past week, for the first time, I went for a Tarot card reading. What made it even more unusual is that the reading took place while I was away with some friends for an annual “spa” getaway sans significant others, […]

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 have no more conditioner,” my 4th grade daughter reminded me as I dropped her at school last week, her hair looking frizzy, as she grabbed her book bag, kissed me goodbye and ran into school. I mentally added it to my list of things to do and dreaded the day ahead filled with mundane […]

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 […]

Moving forward is what this project is all about. While that may be interpreted in different ways by people, for me it is all about pushing myself to just “do” in all sorts of ways that I have never done before and hopefully get others motivated too. So far, some weeks have been about emotional […]

Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass. – Fran Lebowitz Anyone who has been following my exploits these first few […]

My younger daughter has already stated that I’m preoccupied with this blog and have been ignoring her, my older daughter wants in on the action and hopes to get a guest writer’s spot one week, and my husband – well, he just had the day off. So I figured, why not include the whole family […]
