That ladies and gentlemen is how the 25 in twenty five project was born. I decided to set 25 goals for myself to complete in my twenty fifth year of life. These goals will challenge me to become a better person, cross somethings off of my bucket list, and make some awesome memories along the way.
As of now, I have a few ideas that I am tossing around:
- Try/experience 25 new things in my hometown of Pittsburgh
- Travel somewhere that involves using my passport (and get on a plane- sorry Canada- you don't count)
- Lose 25 pounds
- Read 10 new books.
- Send 25 cards... in the mail. Everyone loves getting a card in the mail.
- Commit 25 random acts of kindness
- Save $250 to donate to a good cause
- Volunteer at least 25 hours
- Cook 25 new recipes
- Take a class- just for fun
- Visit 25 states- even if only for a few minutes
- Get all A's in my graduate classes
- Make a new good friend
- Enter a piece of my artwork into a show/ competition
- Take a photo a day using my cell phone and make a movie of the previous year when I turn 26
- Take one good photo a week using my camera
- Plant a tree, recycle, or do something else that is "green"
- Do something spontaneous
- Throw a dart at a map and go where it lands
As you can see, these ideas are all over the place, with no real rhyme or reason. The only connection they have is that they will all make my life richer in some way: make me happier, make someone else happier, make this earth a better place to live in general. Some are small ideas, some are big- we all need balance in this life you know! What is important is they will all challenge me to love a fuller life. A happier life. At times, a more exciting life.
As you can also see, I don't have 25 ideas yet. Heck, I don't know if I am even keeping the ones I have listed there! So now is where you come in... I want your ideas! If you could go back, or look ahead, and complete this project what would be on your list? What would you want to accomplish? What do you think I should do? I am open to any and all suggestions- big or small! So please, help me out! Inspire me! Help to make this year awesome! And definitely follow the blog to see where this year takes me :)
