2015 52 in 52: Year in review

This year I realised again I’ve been approaching the 52 in 52 all wrong. I always tend to get to the end and focus on what I didn’t do, then think of it as a failure.

I’m so wrong.

I should be looking at all the things I did do, and celebrating the fact that the year didn’t pass by without trying something new, doing something worthwhile, or impacting someone else’s life. And when I look back on the things I ticked on my 52 in 52 list for 2015, I think I had a pretty darn good year. Where I’ve been able to blog the experience I’ve included a link; I went a bit quiet for the second half of the year so not all of these will have an associated story.

Stayed tuned for the list for 2016!

Physical Activity:

Hire something fun e.g. Mini Moke, Segway, House and/or BBQ boat etc: 

Funnily enough this one only just happened earlier this week – what a way to finish the year! For my sister’s partner’s brother-in-law’s birthday (mouthful much?) he hired a bbq boat and the family were all invited. I made up a stupidly large container of Pim’s punch, there were salads, meat and desserts galore, and we cruised the local waterways. So much fun.

52 things in 52 weeks

Oh wow. In 5 weeks we’ll have hit halfway in the year (I’ve just discovered that 2015 has 53 weeks this year, wow). That’s just a tad scary! I’m not expecting for my count down numbers to be exactly at the half way mark as I’ve got lots that I won’t be able to cross … Read more

52 in 52: 12 week challenge results

This is the hardest post I think I will ever have to hit “Publish” on. In posting these photos, I’m also achieving one of my other goals “Do something that scares me”. Let’s be honest, sharing these photos scares the absolute s**t out of me. I hate photos at the best of time, let alone … Read more
