How I did it
How to conquer my fear of driving
It took me
1 year
It made me
hot-wheeling

How I did it: Well, I moved out to the Boondocks and I had no choice but to learn or continue to beg rides from my sister. I tried walking at first--five miles to the library. Now I can honestly say that when I take the car I don't shake in my boots. Still need more highway practice but I'm getting there. Next stop is my own car. Read how I did it…

How to go to a concert
It took me
28 years
It made me
ecstatic

How I did it: Kings of Leon at the New Orleans Jazz Festival. I was on Face Book looking at my ILike Music page and I have a lot of KOL on there so I decided to look up their next concert and it was the next day in NOLA. My mother lives down there so I  jumped on a plane -- almost missed it because I arrived too late to check my bag but I had good karma that day because a flight attendant didn't show up and the plane was delayed about 10 min. … Read how I did it…

How to participate in Earth Hour
It took me
1 day
It made me
Great

How I did it: Well it is the easiest thing to do on my list. What was difficult was convincing my family but they came around at the last minute 8:28 to be exact. But I am proud of them..lights were off 2.5 hours. Read how I did it…

Ok 6 months ago

I think I have conquered my fear of driving to Target which is about 8 miles away. Still get nervous about parking and getting gas.
