How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I learned some basic poses through the video "Yoga for Dummies." Yeah, I know. But the instructor was great, and it goes over the most common poses in a lot of detail. I did yoga videos at home for awhile, only occasionally trying a class at the gym. About six weeks ago, I took my first class at a real studio. I've been attending weekly since then, and I absolutely love it! I'm hooked for life. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: You have to just commit to it. Write every day (don't wait until the last 10 days to try to cram in 35000 words like I did), and don't edit! Just keep writing, even if you think it's complete drivel. It will all work out in the end, and you'll be amazed at the ideas you come up with and how your characters take on a life of their own! I never imagined I would feel such a sense of accomplishment. Read how I did it…
It made me
Satisfied
How I did it: I used one of those Bibles that is organized into daily readings that allow you to complete it in a year. I plan to do it again this year, but with one of the Bibles that are organized chronologically. I previously tried to do it with a regular Bible and a reading plan, but for some reason it was just easier with a Bible that was already organized into the daily readings. Read how I did it…

It’s free to visit the Liberty Bell – you just have to wait in line and go through security. Definitely plan on doing a free tour of Independence Hall, which is right next to it.
