This is the one thing on my list that I always think “okay, when I do this, I can die”. It’s probably my biggest dream, and it’s probably also the thing that seems most out of reach right now. Making a trip to India is so special to me that I want to be emotionally ready for the experience. I imagine this will take me years, maybe even a decade… but I will keep preparing until I am ready.

How I did it: I just wrote down the 25 things that came to my mind when I thought of what I was afraid of, and they came to me really easily. I might even do this exercise again since I am definitely afraid of more than 25 things. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I sat down and wrote. Then, I rewrote. The story I wrote is for the most part something that happened in my own life, with the names of the characters changed. It was something I needed to write... I consider it my first real, completely complete short story. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I sent my resume in to what seemed like a million places, and this company called me in for an interview. I started work that afternoon, and they asked me to stay on. I'm still searching for a weekend job. Read how I did it…

Finished the top half, complete with neck strap! Used an old corduroy printed shirt and it’s very 50s. Love it so far, and can’t wait to finish it.
