How I did it:    I joined the Folksinging Club at my high school in the 10th grade.  I wanted to be Bob Dylan, or Woodie Guthrie, or even Arlo Guthrie.  I practiced chords and fingerpicking styles like Cotton Picking and Travis Picking.  I listened to the guys above and to Joan Baez and Judy Collins and Tom Rush.  I had a local friend who played very well and inspired me.

How to gain weight
It took me

It made me
Stronger Healtier

How I did it: I started exercising.  It doesn't take a gymnasium - just regular sit-ups, push-ups and pull-ups. Also pay attention to your nutrition.  I had to focus on eating enough volume and enough calories.  Many people need just the opposite.  Find out what your nutrition needs are. Read how I did it…

April 24, 2009: I’ve had them out and strewn around for years. Now I’m reading Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui, and I’m going to get it under control.
Spring forward to October 2, 2009. I am committed to finishing the Feng Shui book soon.
