I am definitely not one to make resolutions. Nor am I one to even keep them! However, this year, I’m setting a lofty goal for myself. In efforts to get out and really explore more of my new home and also learn more about myself, I am pledging to do something new every week for an entire year in 2011. It’s my hope to blog about my new experiences each week, sharing with you all along the way! I’m not talking super ambitious here since I still am on a limited (no) income. Some weeks will be more impressive than others, but that’s why this is going to be fun.
