How I did it
How to go to a nude beach
It took me
1 day
It made me
feel empowered

How I did it: I went with a female friend who had been there before.  When I set out to go there, I planned to only go topless.  When I got there and saw people wading in the river, (We were on a beach on the bank of the Columbia River in Oregon) I decided I wanted to wade naked in the river.  I cannot resist swimming or wading naked, so I had to do it.  My desire to feel the cool water flowing over my body totally made me forget th… Read how I did it…

How to make kombucha
It took me
10 days
It made me
accomplished

How I did it: I got a kombucha baby or "scobie" from a woman on Craigslist who had some to give away.  She also gave me instructions for how to brew kombucha.  I started with the baby and a gallon jar.  I purchased a package of large black tea bags meant for brewing pitchers of tea.  I bought a bag of plain white sugar.  Read how I did it…

go to the gyno
It's been a while 4 weeks ago

I usually don’t have any issues with the annual womanly exam. I usually get one annually because I had pre-cancerous cells frozen off of my cervix when I was in my early 20s.

I am putting this goal here because I want to make it a priority as soon as I get some other financial things dealt with.
