The Experiment
Twelve new experiences. Four bigger leaps. One wonderfully imperfect year.
From January through December 2027, I'm making room for curiosity—not a brand-new personality. Here you'll find the plans, the stories and the occasional decision that deserves a raised eyebrow.
The year hasn't started yet. Nothing completed, nothing airbrushed.
A little accountability. No gold stars required.

Comfort-zone challenges
One bigger leap each quarter. Courage currently under construction.
Updated by hand as the experiment unfolds. These are completed experiences, not good intentions.
Twelve months. Twelve firsts.
No carefully curated bucket list yet. Each month gets one completely new experience—and an honest account of how it went.

All months refer to 2027. Stories and photographs will follow the actual attempts, not precede them.
The bigger, gulp-inducing bits.
Four challenges outside my comfort zone, one per quarter. Bigger doesn't have to mean reckless. It just has to ask a little more of me.
Quarter 1 · January–March 2027
First leap, still brewing.
Pending. Challenge not yet selected. Expectations, nerves and the eventual outcome will go here.
Quarter 2 · April–June 2027
Room for a second leap.
Pending. Challenge not yet selected. No triumphant before-and-after story to manufacture.
Quarter 3 · July–September 2027
Further out, perhaps.
Pending. Challenge not yet selected. Small victories and spectacular failures will both count as evidence.
Quarter 4 · October–December 2027
One last leap.
Pending. Challenge not yet selected. A finish line, not a personality overhaul.
