I've accepted the challenge and we are starting today with our 30 challenges. Since it would be a bit impossible to do all 30 things each day we have started by choosing a few from the list to work on this week and we will choose a few next week and so on. For this week I have chosen to work on the following for my 30 challenges for 30 days of growth:
4. Learn and practice a new skill every day
I thought this was really fitting since I am really trying to commit to my photography skills. I am currently taking a class to develop my skills and use of camera so why not put those skills to the test everyday for a week (or better yet, 30 days!) I am going to take a photo a day, focusing on a different artistic vision, and photography skill.
12. Create something Brand New
I have a fabulous idea for Al’s first birthday gift and I will use this time to start the project. It is going to be a short movie highlighting the major events from July 26 2011-July 26 2012. It will include pictures, music, news highlights, celebrity gossip and social media stories, all that occurred during his first year of life. I am hoping that it will be something fun, funny and interesting for him to look back on when he is a young adult. It is also something I am hoping to do each year until he is 18. Great aspiration, I know.
15.Ditch 3 bad habits for 30 days
Lets start with 1 bad habit for this week. And it is going to be cussing. I say Im going to fix it all the time but I just cant seem to clean up my potty mouth. This weeks plan is to eliminate it or pay up to the recently instated swear jar!
18. Read One Chapter of A Good Book each day
Easy! Im currently working on the third book of the hunger games series so this should be a synch!
22.Exercise for 30 minutes a day for 30 days
This shouldn’t be too hard since I usually exercise an hour a day or more, but I am going to really commit to my weight training this week. Gotta get those guns ready for the beach! (or maybe just for the tank tops)
26. Have a conversation everyday with someone you rarely speak to
I am going to do this with family and friends for the week, who I haven’t spoken to in a while or have lost touch with. Although it may be via facebook, email or text, I am still committing to opening up a dialogue with the long lost!
30. Document everyday with one photograph and one paragraph
This should be easy, with my goal from #4 Ill just have to add a small write up and post it on the ol’ blog every night.
