In all honesty, I find it exceedingly difficult to stay on a clear, defined, singular path. Some would insist it's part of my charm (and, admittedly, having a gajillion varied interests and obsessions DOES make me one helluva dinner party guest), but there's always an excuse. Working as a creative in advertising translates to having the kind of harrowing schedule that would drain even Max Fischer. My OWN creative work and do-good-dreams have suffered substantially. So this year, I vowed to do things differently.
It started with the 30 day yoga challenge. Not the batshit 30 day Bikram challenge, but a nice, normal regiment delivered daily to my inbox by the perky (yet delightfully devoid of typical hippie girl yoga fluff) Dashama. The goal? Do yoga every day for 30 days. Easy, right? By the fifth day, I started literally craving it. Twenty days in, I have skipped a few days here and there, but have seen an incredible difference in both my mood and energy level. It got me thinking... why not conquer a different 30 day challenge every month of the year?
After posting my musing to Facebook, I received an immediate response from Cristy, and it hit us both like a proverbial bolt of lightning. Why not do each challenge together, then blog about our experiences and find increasingly bizarre (and hopefully beautiful) tasks to fill the year?
We'll be posting the first challenge soon.
