I am an art lover in Toronto, yet somehow I haven’t found time to visit the Art Gallery of Ontario since they completed their renovations and expansion. This is the year.

The Challenge
I completely fell apart on this in 2011. But, here we go again. 2012 WILL be a better year. Over the next 52 weeks, I will attempt to accomplish 52 goals I have set for myself. These are not resolutions. It is not a matter of giving something up, or losing a certain amount of weight, or all of a sudden becoming a different person. Rather, these are tasks to accomplish, experiences to enjoy, changes I would like to work towards. While there are 52 items on the list, and 52 weeks in the year, the idea is not necessarily to complete one task each week. Some of the tasks are one day events, others are much more long-term. I've set this blog up as a tracking tool, to keep me on task, and to monitor my progress and successes.
