Thirteen Squared?

Happy New Years 2013!

This is the time for resolution and new beginnings, yet for most of us all this turns out to be is empty promises and forgotten self-improvement messages. I'm no stranger to this. In fact, I can't remember having actually made and completed a single resolution in the past 5 years.
THIS is my attempt to change that. Although it started with a very simple one, based wholly on just wondering why I didn't do more of 'this' in 2012. You see, "more" is just to open. So I'm setting small, specifically numbered goals. Of course my hope is that by starting small I will create a bigger WANT in myself. A self inspired revolution by DOING!
But of course I have never been one to do anything small. So while I lay in bed unable to sleep my mind takes over with flurries of ideas each one bigger, funner and more inspiring than the one before. Until finally; ThirteenSquared became the challenge selected. The single greatest New Year's resolution for what is bound to be the greatest year to date: 2013.

So what is Thirteen Squared?
In its very basic essence: thirteen lists of 13 items each. The 13 titles represent the 13 resolutions. The 'squared' part is represented in one of 2 ways:
        A. The simpler one. If resolution number is: "Be a designated driver", then according to the law of ThirteenSquared I will have to do this action 13 times in 2013 to complete my resolution.
        B. Diversity wins. The resolution will go something like this:  "Try something new". For resolution success ThirteenSquared demands that I log 13 new things I tried in 2013.

Finalizing ThirteenSquared:
Self-discipline has long been my mortal enemy. To which I offer its greatest foe: accountability. And in this process, you, yes you, can be greatest friend and support system because I am offering to you my accountability! This means that I will be documenting (and hopefully accompanying substantial evidence like pictures) every successful step toward achieving ThirteenSquared!

I hope to offer some great stories, interesting pictures and even a pinch of inspiration to anyone out there hoping to do more, to do better, for themselves and for others.

Look forward to your feedback and encouragement.

Your faithful ThirteenSquared challenger,

Karina
