by Lu Ann Cahn
ebook
1 of 1 copy available
Veteran journalist and cancer survivor Lu Ann Cahn was feeling angry and frustrated. The economy was tanking. Her job was changing. In a word, she felt “stuck.”
Something had to change. Her daughter helped convince her to start a “Year of Firsts.” For the next 365 days, Cahn made a point of doing something she had never done before, every day. Before she knew it, her whole perspective on life had changed. In this inspiring book, Lu Ann recounts how a new “first” everyday brought excitement and wonder back into her world. And more than that, she helps readers see how they can do it too.

Using boredom as a prod to action, veteran journalist and Emmy Award winner Cahn started a blog chronicling her decision to try something new every day for a year. Experiences such as riding a mechanical bull, spending a day in a wheelchair, and going to the movies alone brought creativity and excitement back into her life. Cahn also lists some additional ideas to give readers further inspiration. Some of the activities are fairly ordinary, such as finding one's way through a corn maze, but others (entering a high-heel race) are more daring. VERDICT A fun and accessible read for those looking to add excitement to their lives.
