This idea was in my head for several birthdays but I never made it. And then, I was reading all these amazing posts by Sarah over her blog Yes and Yes and her lists she creates at every birthday… So this year, I decided to jump and find 26 (my new age) new things I want to try this year.
I love making lists, for everything and nothing at the same time. Not only grocery shopping list (which I found a very useful pad called «All of out» at Chapters and I just have to check what we need. Save me some time).
So this is it, my list for this year:
26 new things I want to try
- Learn how to crochet
- Launch an online class
- Get drunk
- Dye my hair a funky color (with Manic Panic dye)
- Give distance Reiki to someone
- Send my work to be published in a magazine
- Attend a yoga class
- Make my own tofu
- Try to get my artwork hung in a shop or a gallery
- Buy our first home
- Learn the basics of playing piano (or drums)
- Go to a baseball match
- Do a 3-day detox
- Try Malaysian food
- Read Tuesdays with Morrie
- Attend an art retreat
- Carve a stamp myself
- Be on a movie or tv show filming set
- Try my hand at watercolor
- Create an encaustic painting
- Watch Blade Runner
- Have my make-up done at MAC
- Try acupuncture
- Do a yard sale with all the stuff we don’t need anymore
- Have a mani/pedi done
- Paint a huge canvas (like 48″x48″ or bigger)
Have you done a list like that (not necessarily for your birthday) ? Have you crossed all the new things on it ?
Oh, this is the selfportrait I took while waking up this morning…
I can help you with the 18. But you’ll have to come and visit me in Paris 😉
And, well, I should really think about getting drunk this year !
Maybe we can try skype drunkin ? :p
Love Ya brunette !
Happy B’day again !
Oh yeaaah for #18 !
There is a lot to celebrate, we should skype while drinking together
Love you too ma Blondasse
I have a list but I think I am ignoring it!
Ooh, drums are fun. I couldn’t learn piano because my fingers are too short 🙁 I could not reach the keys to make a chord. maybe we can do something on that list together!
Why do you ignore it ?
I was always told I have «piano fingers» but I did not have the chance to be able to continue music study and by consequence to learn piano.
I would love to do something with you (on that list or not).
love the last one! me too! have fun doing all of these wonderful things! my list will need 43… hmm… better get busy i guess! happy birthday nolwenn!
The canvas is ready to be painted… i am waiting to have attended Flora Bowley’s workshop in November to play on it.
43 is a great age, I dont remember why but I loved when my mom turned 43 (I was 9).
Love the list. “Tuesdays with Morrie” is an awesome book (and I hate to read!). Be sure to have a box of Kleenex readily available….and for heaven sakes…get drunk already. You’re past due!
Happy to have the confirmation this book is great.
For being drunk i know it is weird that I am 26 and never was before 😉
happy belated birthday, beautiful! i wish you a splendid year filled with the loveliest of adventures, discoveries, and experiences, lots of growth, and healing and light. all my love!
