How I did it: When I went to Perth, Australia to complete my Discipleship Training School (www.ywamperth.org.au) I ended up writing a rap for my God Talk. It focuses on one of His characteristics - worthiness. First time writing a rap. I know it's not a song, but it's in the musical realm. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I got the idea from a friend of mine who cycles a lot. She agreed to take me on a short ride with her, far away from traffic on nice cycle friendly roads.Before I went though I had to get my dad to pull my mum's old bike out, pump up the tires, adjust the seat and fix a broken brake for me.The first time I rode it as a test while my dad fixed it I actually thought for a few seconds that I HAD forgotten how to ride a bike. It's been years … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I made a photo book online for my mama's birthday gift. It was hard to find enough photos. I would say the first step is to take lots of pictures and have an organized system for storing them so that they are easy to add to your book. It was also stressful to meet the deadline so that she would get it on time, but it helped the process not take more than an month. Read how I did it…

How I did it: When I was younger, my mother was much more prone to make sure the dishes were done than to sit at the table and laugh with the family. All these years later and nothing has changed. There really are no days for "family days". As far as they are concerned there is always more work to be done. As a parent myself now I refuse to follow their example. Dishes can wait. Yard work can wait. Same with th… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I do yoga daily, I ride my bike and go for walks. I found a yoga studio that gives me access to unlimited yoga classes. I do gardening every day. I would like to do more of this, like spend more time cleaning my house and less time on the computer. But I do spend a lot of time exercising and journaling. I think 43things is an amazing stress reliever for me. And I think it is pretty healthy. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Whenever I read a blog, I want to read about the author and I like to see a photo. I felt I should offer the same thing I want from a blog author. I had some text written but was held up by the photo. I am uncomfortable with photos of myself. I decided to stop hesitating and took several pictures of myself then edited them to over-exposed b&w. If felt like a good compromise.www.abitoffcenter.com/raeblog Read how I did it…

How I did it: I moved to New York maybe 4-5 years ago upon receiving an internship that turned into a job offer. I found my Brooklyn apartment via Craigslist. When I was conducting my apartment search, it was a challenge finding each apartment because they were spread throughout the city and I was new to New York. I looked at apartments in Queens, Harlem, and Brooklyn. I went with the Brooklyn apartment (35 minutes away from lower Manhattan) because it… Read how I did it…
How I did it: When I got my job in DC a few years ago, I found my apartment via Craigslist. I lived in NE DC, near Union Station (directly north of the US Capitol) for $600 + utilities. It was great being in the heart of the city. I didn't have a car so I wanted to live within walking distance/metro rail distance. Everything is within a reasonable walking distance and since it was near the Capitol, it was a safe area. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I joined the Boy Scout program at the earliest school grade/age allowed (6th grade?). I regularly attended the weekly meetings and the monthly camping trips. Meetings and camping trips allowed me to work on requirements to move up in rank. The week-long summer camps are really important for earning merit badges, another requirement for moving up in rank. I used to earn 12+ badges per trip. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I saved nearly everything I earned from my paycheck and then invested it. I also got lucky and invested near the bottom in 2008 and consequently, was able to increase the value of my initial investments substantially. Had I invested a year earlier, it would probably have taken me another year to have reached this goal. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Bread made its way onto our grocery list again, so I decided to finally tackle this goal and pick up some yeast instead!I found an online recipe that had a lot of good reviews (and had "easy" in the title). I had always heard bread was difficult with punching it down and waiting for it to rise, etc., but because you don't need to roll anything out, I thought it was pretty easy. Just a little time consuming (lots of wait time).The recipe I… Read how I did it…
How I did it: First I read the book "Eating Animals" by Jonathan Safran Foer, and this made me want to stop eating meat on December 19, 2011. Then I ordered the dvd "Forks Over Knives" and watched it on New Years Day. The excellent information in this documentary made me stop eating/drinking dairy and eggs as well.I didn't do anything drastic like throwing out all of this food. Instead I finished eating what was in my cupboards and refrigerator in… Read how I did it…

How I did it: We started looking at neighborhoods as soon as we moved to Ottawa. M identified the neighborhood he wanted pretty soon. I cast a wider net but in retrospect, that was unnecessary. Pick an area and then monitor it. We saved money but could have saved more. We both have jobs which helps immensely. We started paying attention in earnest over the summer. I created a spreadsheet based on mls info containing details for every home that was in t… Read how I did it…

Learn to prepare non toxic food in order to function and live until tomorrow, where you must repeat the process or eat what you have already prepared in advance.It's not rocket science.Step 1. Buy beef 2. Prepare beef the way you like it to taste 3. Cook to prevent infectious microbials 4. Cool until non burning 5. Eat 6. Store remaining beef in insulated box below 5'c or colder 7.

How I did it: Very slowly. We got about half the stuff unpacked right away. And then we just sort of stopped. And then we would unpack things as we needed them. But the basement just never got unpacked. Office supplies, board games, exercise equipment ('cause we bought one of those exercise machines. I don't know why I feel the need to tell you that), knick knacks, and a wet suit. And we just never needed any of… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I wouldn't say I've mastered it, but I've had my first go and it turned out alright. The cabling is only part of a relatively ssimple pattern, a scarf for my niece with lots of different textured stitches. I've successfully done a simple C6F instruction and I'm pleased with the result, and hopefully I'll can now go on to more complicated cable patterns. Read how I did it…
How I did it: We went to Hawaii for a wedding on the island of Kauai and went snorkling off Hanalei. It was brilliant. It felt like they all had personalities.

The second book I wrote in I wrote however I was feeling. Sometimes the entries would start off negative but after I had … Read how I did it…
