Here we are again! It’s Sunday folks. I hope each of you are having a great weekend!
Weekly Challenge: This week’s challenge is a simple one. Take one hour away from all technology (cell phones, laptops, computers, etc.). In today’s overly technical world, this can be tough, but the key is to stay away from your mobile phone, laptop, or computer for just one hour. Evaluate how you feel at the end of the hour and drop a comment on how this impacted you.
Until next time…

Happy Sunday!!
Weekly Challenge: This week’s challenge is to learn something new. You pick the topic; you choose how much you want to know. Widen your knowledge about something you’re curious about. You can achieve this challenge by reading a book or article, watching something on YouTube, or finding a good documentary on Netflix or Amazon Prime.
Happy learning!
Share in the comments about the topic you chose or what you learned.
Until next time…

Weekly Challenge: This week, take the time to plan something. It doesn’t matter what project it is. It could be complex or simple. Take the time to really think through the action steps and map out how you will finish this task. (Hint: I think you’ll find that you will achieve what you are looking to do much more quickly by taking the time up front to think through what you are going to do to achieve your ends).
In the comments, tell me what project you tackled and how this process helped.
Until next time…

This week’s challenge is easy: Do something nice for your Dad or Father figure this week.
Today, we celebrate Father’s Day! My Dad loves to read, loves steak, and loves YouTube. So we got him a bunch of books from the Star Carrier Series and Mom is making Steak for dinner.
If you have any special, Father’s Day stories, feel free to share then in the comments.
Until next time…

Another week of 2020 is in the dust. This week’s challenge, should you choose to accept it: Write a letter of support to your local law enforcement. They have been getting beat up in the news and literally everywhere. I’m going to write my local P.D. and tell them how much I appreciate the work they do.
Have a great Sunday, folks!
Until next time…

Wow! Another week has passed us by. I think time flies when so many things are going on.
This week’s challenge: Watch a movie in a genre you normally would never watch. For example, if you watch a lot of action/adventure movies, watch a comedy or tear jerker (Steel Magnolias is one example).
In the comments mention the movie you watched and what you thought of it. Did it suck or were you surprised by it?
Until next time…

Week of May 31, 2020 challenge: Call a family member you haven’t talked with in a while and check in to make sure they are OK. Both COVID and the recent riots are probably putting a lot of folks in danger. Wish them well and ask them if they need anything.
In the comments, reply with whom you talked with and how it went.
Until next time…

Ok, folks. Here we go for this week’s challenge: It’s simple because today is Mother’s Day.
Challenge: Do something extra nice for you Mom this week. Today is Mother’s Day, so you probably already have a card, and all the rest. This week do something unique to her. Maybe you connect via ZOOM or Skype, or maybe you send her a delightful gift, or maybe help her with a project you can work on while separated. Whatever you come up with, post in the comments. I’m curious to see what you come up with.
Until next time…

Another week passes by. This week, the challenge is another easy one. It is this:
Find a YouTube channel or website that offers you the opportunity to take a virtual tour of a museum. That’s it. Enjoy yourself. I’ve taken a few of these, and they are terrific.
Here’s one to get you started: The American Museum of Natural History
If you find one you like, put the link in your comment. I’d love to check out what you find. I hope you enjoy this. These tours are outstanding!
Until next time…

Here we are! One more week passes us by in lockdown. It’ll be interesting when generations are born that don’t know anything about this. Whatever we decide to do as a society on the upcoming months may require permanent changes in how we work, how we play, how we socialize, and to a new generation born outside of this, it’ll all seem normal. The changes we make as a society won’t be a change to them. It’ll be normal. Crazy, right?
Change is inevitable in this world. In fact, it is something you can count on. Changes in relationships, changes in jobs, changes in health, changes in interests, change, change, change. Why do we fight it? Why not accept what is and adapt to the new circumstances? Because we’re human. We like consistency. We like things to stay the same.
This week, let’s mix it up a bit. The challenge is simple.
Weekly Challenge: Change one thing in your life, your daily routine, or your schedule. Do something that is different every day for a week. Reply in the comments with what you came up with, regardless of how small it was.
Until next time…
Dave
