Welcome to our newest "blog" challenge and I guess "life" challenge..... today we allocate time to challenge ourselves.... I'm linking this blog to my new pinterest account.... here is what I propose....... 
We all need to challenge ourselves to move forward, to enjoy what life have to offer us no matter where we are in the scheme of things. I have been posting my blog about once a month or sometimes even longer.... I've been toying with this pinterest thing for a few months now, but after meeting a great gal named Carolinn, I decided to challenge myself to do this. Now bear with me for if you accept the challenge we will be in it together...... Many of you know I'm a big movie fanatic..... so if you have seen the movie Julie/Julia you know that Julie decided to blog her way through Julia Child's cookbook..... No, this has nothing to do with cooking unless that is part of your challenge.... this DOES have to do with doing something each day for 365 days....... 
Today is Day 1
I challenge you to take 5-10 minutes (that's all, if that's all the time you have) each day and do something that you haven't done in awhile, that you have NEVER done or that you just have an interest in finding out about. Maybe it's walking, maybe it's watching the sunrise or the sunset, maybe it's wishing on a star, maybe it's picking up those weights that are collecting dust, maybe it's cooking, maybe it's visiting a nursing home....... every day, once a day for 365 days ! Are you up for the challenge? Most of you know I wear all the hats in my business and I am taking the challenge to make time to do this blog for each thing that I embark on each day..... I certainly do not have the time. That being said, what kind of message will we tell ourselves when we give this a try. Maybe at the end of the year, you will be an author, a runner, a car mechanic, a painter or something else. At the very least you will see something differently. When they say, "Stop and smell the roses...." if that's all you have time for....do THAT for 5 min. I'm so anxious to see how much steam we gain and who will also be blogging about what they tried or re-visited in their lives. I figured if I'm going to embark on Pinterest, let's do it with a purpose..... so go there, re-pin for me and let's embark on this adventure together..... Just look for Ava's eyes on the Pinterest board sometime today and see what I've put in for day one later today....... 
Are you up for the challenge? On Sundays, we will collect our loose change.... sort of a day off but with a purpose..... save your Sunday change and see what happens in one year ! So here we go....... check back withing the hour and see where we start......
