How I did it: I have always been slender which does NOT equal being healthy. So I joined a no frills gym and supplemented my workouts by taking up running. I watched my body tone up rapidly after that. I take my dog jogging in the morning and at night, so I have a reason to go. She loves it and we both get a workout. It is also freeing, running and watching the world around you, pounding the pavement and cranking the tunes. I have pushed my body to the… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I decided to run for my friend so I ran all summer, and I was able to complete the run. I was never a big runner so it was a huge accomplishment to be able to do this. In order to push myself on I just thought about my friend and about Terry Fox, and about how brave and strong they were. That motivated me to push on past the pain. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started off taking pictures of everything, which produced some OK pictures. Then I would really look at what I was taking pictures of and find out what it was that was worth photographing. Once I was able to find the beauty in every subject it became really easy. I really knew I had become a better photographer when I took over 200 pictures of my last vacation and didn't delete any of them! Read how I did it…
The run this year is September 13. I am not a professional runner but I want to do this for my friend Paul. He has cancer and has just been diagnosed as terminal. This disease ruins so many lives and we need to work together to beat it.
I have signed up and am now gathering pledges. I hope Paul will be able to be at the finish line on race day.

I joined this site (National Novel Writing Month)
The idea is to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. Most people who try to write a book and fail do so because they try right off the bat for a perfect draft. The idea behind a month long novel is to get a rough, rough first draft. To get all your ideas on paper and out of your head. After November it can be cleaned up as much as you want. I have started mine and my word count is at about 2000 after one day. I am going to work on it right now!

I am terrified of flying, among a ton of other things. Flying utterly terrifies me…to the point I missed my older brothers wedding because it involved a 14 hour plane trip to Argentina. So I decided to do something about it. I took an online course to help me get over my fear and while I am not cured, I feel 90% better about it. I am leaving on Sunday for a 6 hour plane ride to British Columbia and I am actually more excited than nervous!
I will no longer allow my fear to rule my life and prevent me from living it the way I want. There is a long way before this goal is complete but this was a big step for me!
