I'm doing 39 things
I signed up for a driving course with my sister in law and we are going together. I have completed 2 days of the 4 day course and I have my first in car lesson on Wednesday. I am scared to drive because I was the passenger in a very bad accident, so hopefully the lessons help me out

How I did it
It made me
Free 
How I did it: I am typically scared of a lot of stuff, and I would often say no when opportunities arose. I am also somewhat of a homebody so when people would invite me out somewhere I usually declined. Finally, I work shift work so I generally have to make my own opportunities otherwise I sit at home all day. Which I was doing. So I just told myself one day to start saying yes, whenever an opportunity to do something new and exciting came up. Since t… Read how I did it…
It made me
Clean
How I did it: I have been a vegetarian for 5 years and this was simply the next step. I could no longer pretend I was doing the most I could do to stop animal exploitation. I was going to do it gradually but it was easier than I thought, and I was able to give up dairy and eggs much easier than I expected. I am not the greatest cook (As shown by the above pic) but practice makes perfect and I am getting better. Read how I did it…

Young and Fun!
How I did it: I was a little down about turning 30 so I decided to do something unforgettable. My friend (who turned 30 a few days before me) and I planned the trip for 7 days of fun. It was an absolute blast and we crammed so much in the week we were there. I will always look at turning 30 as the best birthday of my life!We got tattooed, saw shows, walked the strip, went on tours, went ziplining on Freemont, the Gun store, Pawn Stars, limo rides, etc.… Read how I did it…

I took a beginner course a few years ago but because of my work I couldn’t continue with it. I always loved it though and kept my hipscarf. I am fascinated whenever I watch a dancer moving. I still want to learn but since classes are out of the question, I will just teach myself using videos and the internet. I have no delusions of becoming an amazing dancer, but I want to do it for the joy of it.
I started a Facebook group dedicated to animal rights and welfare for my small hometown. This group talks about all the efforts other local rescues are taking to save animals, as well as coordinating fundraising and meetings for animal related causes.
We are currently working on banning the sale of puppy’s in pet stores as well as having BSL repealed in Ontario.
