Here’s the runner up in the voting for your favorite Weekly Challenger from the last five years:

The Week of Possibilities (from September, 2006)

My husband and I have declared this summer to be “The Summer of Possibilities.” What might we do, where might we go, how might we change our lives to make them more of what we want them to be? Anything is up for consideration. The knee-jerk “We can’t do that!” response is not allowed. To remind us of that, I made a sign for our kitchen bulletin board that says, “Let’s move to Mars and start a hydrogen farm.”

And what’s come up has been fascinating. We haven’t made any decisions, but we are discovering that things we once thought were vitally important aren’t. Time together is more valuable than money. A quiet evening on our back balcony is as wonderful as a luxury vacation, if not more so. (No reservations, no packing, no traveling, no security issues, and we can get there any time we want.)

I invite you to join us and turn this week into “The Week of Possibilities.” If anything were possible, what changes would you make in your life? How would you recreate your life to honor your values and your dreams more fully?

And hey, if you want to keep going beyond one week - go for it!

Thanks for your vote, but even more, thank you for welcoming me into your life.
