How I did it: Simply writing about everything that I love, on my blogs, and other blogs, make it really simple.Who says recipes have to be complex. Simply adding Nutella to Rice Krispie Treats was a no-brainer in the kitchen and its surely share worthy! Similarly sharing simple fixes like adding Almond Extract to bits of Marzipan to Pancake Mix is great too. Of course I had more complex recipes that were shared (and will continue to be shared) but the … Read how I did it…
How I did it: Finding a Guy Fawkes Mask, also called the "Occupy Mask" and "V for Vendetta" mask was easy on Amazon, I have since spotted many more on eBay. Since wearing the mask isn't always practical, masking the passenger side headrest has proven to be a great statement that is both fun and powerful. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I knew I had a dragon somewhere in my old business stuff, but that was in storage. Pulling together a few pieces of information regarding the manufacturer led me right to the carton that contained George. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I always travel with my camera, especially after having missed several great photo opportunities including someone using the drive thru at the Dunkin Donuts (prior to their Neon hitting the store there wasn't a drive thru)Now whenever I am someone interesting, I snap a shot of Olivia there. Oh yeah, for those of you out of the loop, Olivia is my Mini Clubman. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Find your hoodie style and expand from there - two recent additions to my collection include the South African flag and a Union Jack hoodie. OR if you are just getting your hoodie groove on start with a solid colour - I often have one of two exta big ones in the car - you never know when you are going to be in a situation where someone needs to cover up (mind out of the gutter folks! - for instance a major staining spill) Love them. Have … Read how I did it…
How I did it: Celebrating Clean Slate Monday requires a complete shift in thought process, instead of seeing Monday as the end of a really good weekend one must see it as a starting point for a week full of opportunities, the calls from last week have all been answered, everything on the to do list was done, and a fresh chance for success awaits. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Cheers pop up on 43things all the time .... the trick is to use them quickly because they go away so quickly. The best way to use cheers quickly is to have a plan of cheering. I always hit the "New and Fulfilling" goal first, followed shortly thereafter by the Gratitude goal, from there I hot my subscriptions. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Someone who has a history of being the corn in my poop started raising a ruckus for someone else, I used my voice to speak up against the antagonist and more people came to help than I thought possible. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Flickr is a part of Yahoo, and like everything Yahoo a large part of it is free. Once I got my Flickr groove I wanted to do more, upload many more photos, break things out into sets, and put those sets in collections. But for people just starting out or testing photosharing sites the free options are fantastic. The most popular photo in my collections? Estelle on a Wheelbarrow captioned with the William Carlos Williams poem "So much depen… Read how I did it…
How I did it: The key to any of the New And Fulfilling goals is be open to new things and remember the goal. This is all about New and Fulfilling - not big and extavagant. ItT could be anything from going down a slide as an adult, to a new restaurant, to planting something new in the garden, to doing something that is fairly big. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I just started send her my cheers, then invited other people who I knew appreciated her to do the same, and asked them to tell two friends, and they told two friends and so on and so on and so on. It seemed the more people were asked, the more sent cheers my way, which gave me more cheers to send to bluepark. I love it when appreciation becomes contagious. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Knowing that "New and Fulfilling" doesn't mean Big and Earth-Shattering is the first step to achieving this goal. New and Fulfilling things are all around us, we just have to be open to see them and experiece them. Some are planned, but the best usually just occur through happenstance. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Ask. Sometimes you just have to throw it out there and the answer comes back at you. There are three aha moments in all of this : the simpliest being the completing a goal so quickly, the next being how easy it is to throw something out there in the realm of 43things and find the answer; of course the biggest aha in the whole thing is that in life we can often find what we are looking for by just throwing it out there.

How I did it: Ask. First ask yourself if you would eat it, then ask if you think your friends and family would eat it, then buy it and donate it.Of course calling the local food pantry and soup kitchen and asking specifically what they really, really want is a great way to go. The first reply from any organization is usually "anything" as they are so glad to receive help, but with a little prying you can find out those things they know their guests wou… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Asking questions about daily and weekly tasks is the best way to reduce the enivironmental footprint of our lives. We've all heard the big ideas an infinitum, but its those little things that we do, that are often very easy to do, that can make a huge difference.Simple things like composting reduce trash and improve the ecological balance in our gardens. Avid recycling, even taking an extra "doogy bag" to the part to pick up recycleable b… Read how I did it…
How I did it: After establishing the goal, I knew that I had to follow through, but then realized that some months are more conducive to growth than others. (so I allowed myself some leeway and averaged just a little).There have been several times when I knew that something would work for me eventually, but not right away, so they were added to the "client vision board." There were a few times in the last several months in which the timing was rig… Read how I did it…
How I did it: As an online retailer, the topics are really easy - primarily cut and paste copy from the individual products for the majority of content. Each blog entry has a link back to the site enabling readers to find out more about the product and hopefully make a purchase. With blogger, it is possible to post-date blog entries, so if I bring in 5 new items from a vendor, there is a really good chance that over the course of the next five weeks a… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I am not really sure. I have loved French Fries since I was a child. McCains, being a leading producer of French Fries and potato products - its easy to see why people love them! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I re-read a few of the childrens books that are challenged including In The Night Kitchen and Where The Sidewalk Ends. I also ordered a few of the banned books from my local library just to see if anyone edited or cut out any of the parts that have been considered offensive. (None were) Read how I did it…
How I did it: I knew that I had to start early and opened my first IRA while in Hight School with a Certificate of Deposit. Over time I transferred that money to other more sophisticated investments and continued to save along the way. The key was to make it a habit. Read how I did it…
