29-Day Giving Challenge

Giving to Self - Once in a Lifetime [or at least once in a lifetime]

So February 2nd is my 40-something birthday. My friend Heidi suggested giving myself the gift of doing something I have not done before. I am looking for ideas on ways to give to self that this community believes everyone deserves to do at least once by 40 or 50. Since I am thinking this is a pretty cool idea, I am aiming to collect at least 45 suggestions I intend to accomplish before my next birthday. I would truly welcome your recommendations, thoughts, stories...whatever.

Peace,
Shawna

After explaining my idea to my friend, Connie, she decided that at 62 she would start a list, too. Only her idea is to make it perpetual and to have one item on it for each decade of her life. So, she will make a list of 6 Firsts and when one item is complete, another will be added. Her first First will be to learn to play a few bars on the harmonica of the song What a Wonderful World! She is very non-musical so this little concert should be a hoot. :-)

As for me, my first adventure was to visit a pawn shop. Yes, well, I had no need before but was curious. A good buddy went with me. Gave me what we would call the whipper wills [creeps] at first, then hum. Next, I am running for election for a seat on our practitioner council. This could prove to be an interesting, BUSY year!
