Birth of an IDEA (well sort of...)

In order to give this blog and our idea a little more context, here is the TED Talk by Matt Cutts that it derived from:


His idea to "Try Something New for 30 Days" was inspirational and it encouraged me to begin thinking about ways that I could start to experience life through a different and even more appreciative lens.  Kathryn, Dana and I began discussing ideas for following through with one of these "Challenges" and the idea of this blog was born.

In addition to just completing these really radical monthly "Challenges", I believe that this project will help to promote the following:

1)  An increase in daily awareness
2)  A focus on and appreciation of life's simple wonders
3)  Personal growth in the area of commitment
4)  Formation of good habits / Elimination of bad habits
5)  Social relationships that serve as an audience as well as a support

So, we began developing an initial list of challenge ideas (the list is awesome) and decided that we will start off our first "30-Day Challenge" on Monday, August 1, 2011.  The Challenge, you ask?

Challenge 1:  Take a Photo a Day (August 2011)

I'm really looking forward to this one.  See you mamas on Monday.
