I'm doing 40 things
Ok I am feeling bad about this one now. I came out of the gates like i was all onto this. And I am going to have to make an excuse for not committing yet. I am away from home, living with my sister, then travelling. So its not the easiest place to start making the shift. I know thats a terribly selfish way to look at the process, but I cant make a true commitment. I am however being much more conscious – much less dairy and not knowingly eating eggs. Making little steps is better for the animals that no steps at all, right.

How I did it
It made me
feel so good! 
How I did it: Finally I managed to get myself together and write a letter! Its not that hard, anyone can do it, you dont even have to be a great writer! Seriously tho, its her birhtday next week. This little old lady is going to be 90! how can i not write a letter to her. She is my stand-in grandparent, as I am all out of natural grandparents now, and I know Mrs. Sweetman loves a good letter - my grandparents did! Read how I did it…
It made me
rich! haha!
How I did it: Lots of paperwork - resumes to hand out, apply online, ask around. The harder you want a job, the more will become available! Keep all your options open, dont say no to anything! Even if its not the idel job, the interview will teach you something and you will be better prepared for the next one. Read how I did it…
It made me
Relaxed
How I did it: I am finally able to see the reasons why I was not stoked on life for quite some time. I have been single now for most of the year, and while its awful to loose a relationship, i can see that it was the problem with my mental health. I was in a bad place in myself and with the boyfriend. Dont get me wrong - not an abusive relationship by anymeans, just not the right mix for me. It took a really long time for me to be able to see that… Read how I did it…

So lets mix it up and be a skiier too!
I’ve got all winter long to work on this. I want to ski just as well as I can snowboard.. Or at least well enough to have keep up with the experienced skiiers..!
I’m really not eating much bread at the moment. Canada has very bad bread, so I’m just not eating it. But I am eating a whole lot of other junk so I can’t really feel any sort of response from my body!
