Pictures

First the Shultz Fire now the Shultz Flood 7-29-10

I nominated Michelle for "Random Act of Kindness"
7-28-10

So for the past two days we have been at the AmeriCorps conference.. The first picture is of Michelle with her NAU back pack and 2 tickets to the movie theater she won because I nominated her for doing a "Random Act of Kindness"--Because: She is a great friend and she cares a lot.. Like a care bear--- It was great.. The next picture is of the mud slides that have been happening near the peaks close to where the fire was. the mud took down a fence.. crazy. we were helping the lady next door put up sand bags and waddles to stop it from happening to her... she was so thankful she gave us home made chicken soup and we all got hugs!

Difficulties

WOW so did not expect this to be so difficult... Even though I've only been committing to a few things at a time. I haven't even gotten to the tough stuff yet. I still feel like im putting a lot of pressure on myself trying to make sure I get to talk to someone every day and take a picture.

Now I know it's not an excuse but when ever I get a chance to call some one they are about to go to bed or they are asleep, the three hour difference is a beeitch. So I need to start getting in the habit of making morning calls. Boom!.. Just solved that one.

The daily picture, mrrraahhh, little bit more difficult seeing as the camera I have isn't working and even when it was the pictures were not uploading. So hopefully I'll be buying a new camera Friday and get the other pics from the last few weeks from Megs computer.

Boxing is a whole other story. The only place in Flagstaff is this little gym off Cedar, which if you don't know Flagstaff, it's pretty far from where I live. Also it cost $120 to start and then $75 a month after that. If I haven't mentioned it before I am an AmeriCorps member there for I am making less than minimum wage. Also I'm on spike 16 out of 30 days. Is it worth it?

I think that all my excuses are ridicules and I'm sure I could go on but it's something I really want to do. I think though I'm going to wait until I get back from my trip to Massachusetts. So no worries I'm not abandoning this one. This does however bring up a great point, consequences. I think it would be a good idea to have some consequences. Hmmmm.....

Oh well untill next time

Week Two

So week one is over! Last week I started off with calling some one I love every day. Which was great until my phone died.. Sad.. But I was on spike and had no access to a power source. Next spike tho I will be much more prepared and charge my phone completely before I leave and only turn it on when I'm using it for this call. Also last week I began to take a picture for every day.. This I was able to do but sadly the new camera I got is stupid and isn't compatible with my computer so I had to upload them onto another computer but I haven't been able to transfer them to mine yet. But when I get them on Tuesday I'll most definitely be putting them up!

Even though I failed slightly this week I'm going to keep at it because that is what this blog is all about!

For my next endeavor... Hmmm....... I'm not sure there are SO many things I want to do..

Continue boxing
Volunteer more
Learn a new language
Learn an instrument
Go rock climbing
Learn to dance
Paint
Go to art exhibitions
Go to museums
Take a photography class
Mountain bike (at least twice because it sounds crazy!)
Go to plays
Try new foods
Become a better writer

There are so many things I want to do! I suppose I should start from the top. Boxing is next a little hard seeing as there are no boxing gyms in Flagstaff but I think I can figure something out.

Until next time
Peace & Love

Day one!

Over the last few years, I've noticed, I'll get really into something and ditch it a few weeks later, even a few hours later. Or I'll plan on starting something and never do it. So I've decided to spend a year trying something new every week and continue for the whole year hopefully even continuing after the year is over.
In my blog I'm going to narrate the next year of my life and what I'm going to do and how it goes, the reason I decided to write a blog about it is because I want to keep track of my progress along with my family and friends. I am be no means a writer you'll probably figure this out very quickly but I want something to hold me to my commitment and I want to here peoples feed back and maybe ideas.
Today July 18th 2010 will be day one of my year of change. My first challenge is to take a picture every day for the next year. It doesn't sound very difficult but trust me I'm going to struggle to remember. This is the first picture because the next challenge, which won't be hard, is to call some one I love very much every day. Now I didn't take this very picture and it didn't happen today but i feel like its the best picture to start off on.

Wow first post how exciting
Until next time
