How I did it
It made me
Energetic 
How I did it: I used to have to sit down every 10-15 minutes. My calves and feet were always sore and tired. I went to a podiatrist, and he determined that I needed custom orthopedic inserts. He took a molding of my feet and sent the cast to a factory. Six weeks later my feet were transformed. The soreness in my calves disappeared in a few weeks. Read how I did it…
It made me
Yea!! 
How I did it: I flew down to New Orleans on Monday night. I stayed at Hotel LeCirque because it is right on the parade route. Got up bright and early and secured a spot. Since New Orleans is such a liquor liberal town, I got a jumbo daiquiri on the street and enjoyed the show! Read how I did it…
It made me
Smart
How I did it: I fell in love with books on tape. They allow me to "read" books while I'm cleaning, commuting, food shopping, etc. I signed up on audible.com. They had a promotion where for fifteen dollars a month, I get one book and one newspaper/magazine subscription. Read how I did it…

Back in high school a poem of mine was published in the school’s literary magazine. I felt such pride!. I want to feel that again but on a larger scale. I have an idea for a play as well as a novel. I have writer’s block that is motivated by fear. I hope to have a rough draft of my play by the new year.
It's going to happen!
