Enjoy Your Journey Challenge!

While looking through the January inspiration ideas this morning I came across one that totally inspired me.  So here it is!

January Enjoy Your Journey Challenge!

How to play:

  • Post a picture of yourself “enjoying your journey” of wellness on my Facebook page Cherry Wellness
  • Your picture should show your journey & hopefully getting out of your comfort zone, or doing something non-traditional.  For example take a picture of you enjoying fitness at work!
  • The more creative & inspired the better!
  • The challenge will last through January & a winner will be announced Jan 31st!
  • Share my page with your friends & tag yourself in photos!


This picture is of me while at cooking school in Italy!  Our tour group went to some medieval ruins.  I think I surprised all of my classmates by turning cartwheels, planking, and doing handstands!  I was just so HAPPY I needed to express it physically!

New Year Resolution #2

I started traveling late in life.  I was 24 before I saw the ocean.  That was a pretty big deal for me.  I also fell in love with the water and NEEDED to see more.  More of the water, more of the world, and more of the people.  When I was 30 I went to Mexico and visited Chichen Itza.  Chichen Itza had been voted one of the new Wonders of the World in 2001.  That's all I needed to hear;I decided what better goal then to see the 7 new wonders of the world!

Between 2007-2009 I saw 5 of the wonders AND the honorary 8th wonder the Pyramids of Giza.  I've taken a little break since I met my now husband and ended up moving to Europe.  My old traveling partner has also gotten married and settled down.  This year however I'm renewing my goal.  I'm planning on seeing the rest of the wonders, at least ONE this year.

What are your resolutions?
