How I did it: I applied but I didn't get it - they didn't want me! :0( and I have to fill this with more writing apparently so... blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah ... there. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I logged on every every day and checked how many cheers i had, and made sure i used them for things which I found to be interesting, inspiring, touching or encouraging. I found no shortage! What a great place 43things truly is :0) Read how I did it…
How I did it: I just read lots of books that caught my attention, or had been recommended by friends. I kept a list on www.goodreads.com which is really useful. And I didn't rush or read books that I didn't like - I quit about 5 or 6 books this year, completely abandoned them halfway thru if they weren't holding my attention. Read how I did it…
