73. Braid my own hair

When I was in high school, I used to love to get my friend Cassiey to braid my hair. I always wished I could do it myself, but my arms would always get tired so I would give up half way through, or it would just look terrible. When I was writing my 100 goals list (and starting to run out of ideas) I decided that perhaps it was worth learning how to do it myself. I have to say, it took me quite a few tries and some seriously dead arms, but I was eventually able to get a pretty decent braid.

Unfortunately, I can't find a decent picture of it, and since then I cut my hair short. Recently it is finally starting to grow back, so perhaps I will be able to try it again soon.

The Motivation

Welcome to my motivation. My name is Jacki and I will be your guide today. If you take a look to your left you may notice your left shoulder, which has nothing to do with this blog, but if you keep reading I promise I will not bore you with any more jokes. I recently attended a personal development camp which encouraged us to write a list of 100 goals that we would like to achieve within our lifetime. A list that we can work towards that will make our lives more fulfilling and keep us on track for becoming our dreams. Sounds like a great idea, until you start writing. Let me tell you, it is not an easy task thinking of 100 things that would make you life better. I hope my list will inspire your own thoughts, and that you will be as successful as I hope to be.

34. Crochet a blanket

One of my favourite blankets still to this day is one that mum crocheted. It is so warm and colourful! There is just something about hand-made things that makes them that much more enjoyable. Crocheting my own blanket was always going to be a monstrous task, mostly because I get bored of things easily. I think this may have taken me over a year to complete. I would give up, then come back to it, then give up again, but finally I finished it! After I completed it, I gave it to one of my good friends in Canada. As it was my first blanket I made a lot of mistakes so it has probably fallen apart by now, sorry B! I really want to make a second one and keep it for myself, but I still haven't gotten around to it yet. Maybe one day! Goal completed 16 June, 2013.
