Where are the goals to get weirder? To try new types of fruit? To give more hugs? Take this week to think about a 2025 goal that will make your life better – not because you’ve tried to change yourself as a person, but because you’ve embraced whimsy, creativity, joy, community, and/or experimentation. Tell us what you hope to attempt, experience, or enjoy in 2025 and show us your first steps to achieving it. Yes, we’ll be checking in on your progress in the August Hunt! – Inspired by Anonymous |
