Hello everyone!
Welcome to my 52 Things blog! For my New Year’s resolution I’m endeavoring to try 52 new things in 52 weeks. Over the next year I will try everything from acupuncture to zip-lining in an attempt to broaden my horizons. This isn’t intended to be a ‘bucket list’ (that list is significantly more expensive and extravagant), it’s just a way to pry myself out of my rut. I will chronicle my journey here, mainly to ensure that I actually follow through with it.
Here is a partial list of my planned activities. I’ll add more as the year progresses and opportunities arise:
- Acupuncture
- Aerial yoga/fitness class
- Batting cage
- Belly dancing
- Cooking class
- Corn maze
- Dance class
- Gamble at a casino
- Golf range
- Good deed everyday for a week
- Go to a psychic
- Hike in the Great Smoky Mountains
- Horseback riding
- Hot air ballon ride
- Ice skating in Market Square
- Juice fast
- Kayaking
- NFL game
- NHL game
- Paintball
- Painting class
- Polar Bear Plunge
- Pottery class
- Renaissance festival
- Ride a mechanical bull
- Rock climbing
- Run a 5k
- Run a 10k
- Salt therapy
- Shoot a bow and arrow
- Stand up paddle boarding
- Trivia night
- Visit a zoo
- Volunteer at a homeless shelter
- Volunteer at an animal shelter
- Whitewater rafting
- Wine tasting/Vineyard tour
- Zip-lining
If you would like to join me on any of my adventures or have additional suggestions for my list, please let me know.
If you come to Nashville, I can get you in the Nashville zoo for free! 🙂

Hi! I hope you have fun trying aerial arts! I had a blast with the class I took. What do you plan to do specifically?
I’m glad you like the blog. While I wasn’t able to do a new thing every week, I did accomplish more than 52 things I’d never done before. I plan to keep going in 2014!
