It's all about STARTing


So about 2 months ago I saw one of my favorite people on Twitter, Jon Acuff, tweeted he following:

“For 24 hours only, if you want to go on an adventure email me at _________________”

I didn’t know what the adventure entailed, if it would require a passport, or jumpinh on a plane, or out of a plane for that matter.  All I knew was that I wanted something exciting, I probably couldn’t just take off work and go off to some far way place, but having the option and contemplating it, I could totally do that!

 So I replied, “Adventurer reporting for duty”

The rest…. Well the rest has been an amazing START.

I set risks and goals with clear time frames and steps to take.

I received tips, ideas and encouragement how to be active and pursue those risks.

I’ve gotten more focused on healthy eating and exercising.

I’ve meet WONDERFUL people at Atlanta Meet Ups.

I’ve started considering and planning photography experiences.

I’ve built an amazing community on Facebook, on FACEBOOK, the social media avenue that I no
longer cared for!

I’ve met amazing and encouraging STARTSingles, who keep me up waaaayyy too late at night.

I've been able to engage people throughout my day in conversations about their hopes and dreams.

WAS it an Adventure? ABSOLUTELY

Was it worth it? 100%

Did I complete my RISK? No, I have a long ways to where I would like to get, but I’ve gotten STARTed, and buit a foundation (with a lot of confidence and self control).

Am I going to continue on the awesome path? ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY
