I may look like a nutter if I ever actually set out to do this but I really like the idea of it.
It’s a way of celebrating me and what makes me happy.
EVERYONE should have this one their list!!

How I did it: This was definitely one of the hardest goals I ever set for myself. One, in fact, that I thought I would never accomplish.But as soon as I realized that forgiveness wasn't for the other person, that it was for me, that's when it made sense and was easier.All the hurt that I carried around from the things that had happened with other people wasn't hurting anyone but me; it wasn't doing them any harm or making them feel bad, only me.When I … Read how I did it…
It made me
happy!
How I did it: I chose someone at random for 8 weeks and cheerbombed all the entires or goals I thought were noteworthy or interesting.Everyday I felt good about cheering peoples goals and towards the end of each week I started to notice that those people were actually writing MORE entries. I like to think that they were more actively working on their 43 things because there was someone there cheering them along! Read how I did it…
It made me
glad i tried
How I did it: Whenever I went grocery shopping or out with friends I'd pick something I'd never had before along with something I knew I liked (just to be on the safe side lol). I didn't let people's opinions about different foods influence me anymore, I tried foods even if my friends said they didn't like it...and sometimes I didn't like it either but other times I did. It just like anything else :you got to do it/try it for yourself and make your own… Read how I did it…
