One woman’s quest to do one new thing every
day of the year, what she learned, and what we
all can gain from her journey...
In 2009 veteran journalist and eight-time Emmy ® award winner Lu Ann
Cahn was feeling angry and frustrated. The economy was tanking. Her
job was changing. Budgets were being cut. In a word, she felt “stuck.”
Cahn’s daughter encouraged her to try blogging, and after some thought,
she decided to write about trying something new every day for a year.
These new endeavors included tasks such as riding a mechanical bull,
walking her dog backwards, and even eating a scorpion. Little did she
know that this “Year of Firsts” would change her outlook on life. In I Dare
Me, she shares her journey with readers, showing how they can embark
on their own year of firsts.
