Kick Your Bucket List 2014 #1

Do you have a list of things you've always wanted to try but have been putting off? Are you wanting to challenge yourself and step out of your comfort zone? My New Year's Resolution for 2014 is to start checking things off my bucket list and would love to find others with the same intent.

This will be a monthly challenge. You can sign up for any or all of them. For each month of 2014 you will chose one item to kick off your bucket list. You will document the activity and send it to your partner. A journal entry or letter (three decent paragraphs minimum) about your experience is the minimum requirement. Be creative. You can send photos, flyers, drawings, ATC's, newspaper clippings, etc.)

Items on your bucket list can be as tame: - trying chocolate covered bacon - take a piano lesson - adopt a rescue animal

or as wild: - go skydiving - go zip-lining - drive a race car

... as you like. Because there is the likelihood that some people will "chicken-out" (especially with the more daredevil-ish options), participants will be graded on their documentation and not on whether or not they completed the task. For example, if your partner choses to go sky-diving but decides not to leap at the last second, rate them a 5 as long as they document their experience. This challenge is about expanding our horizons and sometimes it takes more than one try to get comfortable enough to take those leaps.

This swap is newbie-friendly as long as they have a well filled out profile.No recent, unexplained 1's or 3's will be permitted. I will check profiles before assigning partners.
