Month One

So my project is officially starting today. So the biggest question is what is this all about.

Well, I decided for each month of the next year to focus on something different. This could be something I want to strive harder for in my life or something I feel I am overlooking and want to take the time to see clearer. These lessons carry on from month to month. So this month's lesson is still applicable even in November.

There will also be a list of things I want to accomplish for the year. Things that I have always been too afraid to do, this is the year to break down the barriers. These can be small or larger ones that I have been trying to do for years. I will publish the list soon so I get the joy of marking them off.

I will admit the first month is a bit of a given but here is the task for it anyway. Embrace new and different things. I say it is an easier one as I am leaving for my 15 day backpacking trip around Italy, mostly solo in a little less then two weeks. Obviously, it is a new culture and country so there will be many new things. What I mean, precisely, is to seek out new things. This can be trying new dishes, listening to new music, talking to new people or even taking chances I have never done before. This month is all about branching out and expanding my horizons.

I feel now is a great time to explore and I can't wait to spend the month embracing all that is new and uncharted for me. I will still update to let you know how I am going on this and any new lessons learned.

A Happy Birthday to me and I can't wait to see what this year will bring!
