Day 365: Start Writing the 365 Firsts Book

365 Firsts/Day 365: START WRITING THE 365 FIRSTS BOOK. It's the last day!!! 365 Firsts is over. It has been such a journey and I'm forever changed because of it. I just want to thank all of you that followed along or helped me out so much. It means the world to me. It turned into a community thing with people giving me ideas or talking about it or actually helping me do it and I couldn't have done it without you all, so thank you very much. You're only on this Earth once. You can't let life pass you by. I'm oddly emotional making this last post. I feel so many different things at once. This process has been so many different things. It's been amazing and it's been terrible at the same time. Suffocating and liberating. Fun and not so fun. It was an extreme project. I just hope I accomplished some of what I set out to do. I know I have on a personal level. I hope I've maybe pushed some people into stepping out of their comfort zones or also just experiencing new things. It changes you as a person. People keep saying I should write a book about it. So I am. Not necessarily about the individual things I did as firsts, but about the concept and the journey. Hopefully it can inspire other people to try new things or just do good things for other people. I'm going to write a little bit tonight and then take a mental break for awhile before really diving into it. My brain is fried and I need a mental cool down. Again, thank you all so much. It wouldn't have been possible without you. Keep the spirit of 365 Firsts going by always trying new things. Thank you. The End. #365firsts #theend

Day 364: PROFESSIONALLY FILM A WEDDING

365 Firsts/Day 364: PROFESSIONALLY FILM A WEDDING. Professional equipment and I have the Red Pine business behind me now, so, it's a first. Kind of poetic that a wedding is one the eve of my last day of 365 Firsts. It's been such a journey and this has been a great day. Chaotic but great. Only one day left. All of the feels. #365firsts #wedding #weddingday #redpinecreative #videography #a7s

365 Firsts/Day 363: Cut Someone's Hair

365 Firsts/Day 363: CUT SOMEONE'S HAIR. Skylar is a brave soul and let me have a go at cutting her hair. She's an expert with 10 years or experience and I've had exactly zero experience with this so this was really fun. She sent me final photos and it's pretty lopsided lol but nothing she can't get fixed. Thanks a lot for letting me do this! #365firsts #haircut

Day 362: Prepare Real Absinthe

365 Firsts/Day 362: PREPARE ABSINTHE. Travis Thompson smuggled this Absinthe from Italy in 2009. Literally smuggled it. You have to prepare it before you drink it or you basically shrivel up and die. It actually tastes great even though it's 140%. Great first! #365firsts #absinthe #italy #drinks #igdaily

Day 361: Get a Tattoo

365 Firsts/Day 361: GET A TATTOO. Super happy with this! It's a symbol that means "create" and I got it upside down, so to me, it means "create differently" or "think differently". I've always thought differently and always loved to create things and always will. So, this makes perfect sense. @bellamacchina13 did an amazing job and I'm extremely happy with it! She does a great job. If you live around Springfield, head to New Age and make an appointment with her because she's great. #365firsts #tattoo #firsttattoo #newage #ink #glyph #create

Day 360: Put a Penny on the Tracks/Do Karate on the Tracks

365 Firsts/Day 360: PUT A PENNY ON THE TRACKS - ALSO DO KARATE ON THE TRACKS. I'm so burnt out lol I couldn't think of a single thing so I just went to some railroad tracks. My friend suggested I do some karate on the tracks. So I did. Whilst glistening in the moonlight like a damn boss. Then I put a penny on the tracks because I honestly don't think I ever did that as a kid. ONLY 5 DAYS LEFT. Tattoo tomorrowwwww. #365firsts, #honestabe #pennyonthetracks #karatekid

Day 359: Donate to Tara's GiveFoward Fight Against Cancer

365 Firsts/Day 359: DONATE TO Tara Jeannine's GIVEFORWARD FOR HER FIGHT AGAINST CANCER. Here's the link: http://bit.ly/1F2Qgwn you can easily donate and the whole process literally takes a minute. Tara has Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Mixed Cellularity with suspected advanced disease. It was determined she has Stage 3B with active disease on both sides of her neck including a paratracheal mass, mediastinal involvement including an apical mass, abdominal involvement, as well as in her pelvis and left groin. With aggressive chemotherapy treatment, she can beat this, but cancer takes not only a physical, emotional and mental toll, but a financial one. I've actively tried to inform myself about what it's like to have cancer so I can empathize as much as is possible with my best friend, Meghan, who also has Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Cancer sucks. Plain and simple. Financial relief is a huge help. Click below to donate! Good luck with everything coming up, Tara :) #365firsts, #giveforward, #donate, #cancer #fightcancer #beatcancer
