Welcome

Welcome to my new blog.  I have called it Challenges 101 as I hope to complete several challenges this year.

Recently I have been taking a long, hard look at my life.  The wrong side of 50, renting my house, in a safe job that does nothing for me, still wondering what to do when I grow up! So I have decided that I really need to get a grip, take on some new challenges and see what life brings me!

I have been inspired by Chris Guillebeau’s new book “The Happiness of Pursuit” which tells the story of not only his own personal quest ( travelling to every country in the world) but also lots of others who have taken on personal quests. Quests that are extraordinary, inspiring and challenging.  ( For more information , go to Chris’s website ..http://chrisguillebeau.com/the-happiness-of-pursuit/)

Within a week of finishing the book, WordPress announced the Photo101 and Blogging101 challenges for November.  I do like a bit of serendipity….so here goes

 

Happy to hear from you
