How I did it: I went online and researched surf schools in my area and made a lesson reservation. I also went to Wal-Mart about bought a pair of board shorts to ward off surfers' rash on my legs. The whole 'how to do it' part is pretty simple, just a phone call and a shopping trip. The whole surfing part itself was harder in comparison, but totally worth it. I've never felt that exhilaration in my life. It was difficult and so tiring after an hour, but… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I checked Amma's website to see when she was visiting my area and actively chose to go to her darshan. I arrived early, 2 hours before her scheduled entry, and got in line for a darshan token. I was in the first group, A1, and was ushered into the darshan hall around 9. We received tokens and then moved to new seats. I was very impressed with the volunteers who helped organize the event. It went very smoothly. The hall was filled with cha… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I chose to shop at local food stores, including bakers, butchers, cheesemongers, fishmongers, greengrocers, and area farms, instead of shopping at Tesco. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I found out about postcrossing through 43Things and knew that I wanted to join immediately. Therefore, I registered with the website and learned how the system worked. The next day, I went out and bought 5 postcards and 5 international postcard stamps. All that remained was the simple matter of requesting an address, writing my postcards, and mailing them. I wrote the same thing for most of my postcards and then asked a question or shared… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I chose goals, projects, and little things that I had been wanting to start or finally finish for some time. I wrote down my daily goals on my calendar so I could remember and see how feasible they were and picked at least three things to do each day and accomplished what I set out to do. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I bought the book and the accompanying workbook online. I recommend buying the workbook as it has all the tasks laid out and it's easier to do them that way. I had to commit myself to getting up earlier than I normally do, which was an issue for a long time, but I discovered the benefit during the course. It just takes commitment and a willingness to be open and face your fears and hopes. The only thing I had a problem with was all the Go… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went to Dubai for a vacation and enjoyed a desert safari evening. The events there included henna, buffet dining, shisha smoking, and camel riding. I took advantage of the latter. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was shopping at Whole Foods and saw that they had a freezer full of beef marrow bones. I bought two and had the butcher slice them in half for me, giving me four in total. I looked up a recipe online and went from there! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went for a hot air balloon ride this morning just after dawn. I was driven out into the desert of New Mexico. I got to watch the balloon get blown up and come to life before entering the balloon and taking a ride. It was fantastic. It was so calm and peaceful and wonderful. Watching the balloon being blown up was such an experience, I’m so glad I got to see it.We took flight and came up over a few mountains, waiting until the very… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I kept colorful bags in the back of my car at all times and kept a smaller foldable bag in my handbag so if I forgot the car bags, I'd always have at least one with me. Read how I did it…
