1. Why not take a page out of Marilyn Monroe’s book and make your own secret tapes. You can buy cassette tapes and tape your life story on them. Most people want to write daily in a journal, but at the end of the day may not have time or the energy. It could be for your children when they are grown, or for yourself when you are old and gray and can’t bend over anymore. I love listening to old tapes of  my brother and at 11 singing on my uncle’s guitar.

2. Why not try to eat everything whole wheat for the week. My momma always said that the darker the berry the sweeter the juice. Maybe she meant men, but why not take it to other places as well. I thought I would hate whole wheat, but found out that it actually tasted better than it used to when I was a kid. Not so much like cardboard anymore.

3. When was the last time you designed your own piece of clothing. Don’t tell me that never crossed your mind. You would be surprised to know how cheap it can be to take a deign and some swatches of fabric to a seamstress and get your outfit made. How do you think Beyonce’s mom got started? She was no designer; this woman was a hairstylist. You may surprise yourself.

4. Why not incorporate a daily workout routine. Everyone is always so focused on slimming down for the summer. What about slimming down for the fall? The fall brings skinnier jeans, bare legs in the early evening, and shorter skirts. You can’t hide around in tights forever, my dear.

5. Why not have a cheese tasting party…by yourself. Man how I love cheese, let me count the ways. I could actually prepare sonnets about this exquisite food. It is my favorite and I add it to everything. There are several cheese shops around town, or better yet why not go to a gourmet grocery store? Try different types that your palate have never tasted before, even the stinky ones. I never understood that my friends can give blow jobs and swallow, but they balk at the idea of trying different cheeses. There is more to life than cheddar you know.
