I Dare Me by Lu Ann Cahn
Feeling stuck? 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. - Participate in a Polar Bear Plunge- Speak to a complete stranger on the street
