Photo by Sharon who wants to enjoy every moment of her life in NYC. You can see more photos from her latest adventure at 5 Pointz here. Worth it.

I like the way Liz is using Go Mighty to keep track of this goal.

Bonnie is taking this on Haruki Murakami-style.

I love it when being a part of Go Mighty leads to an in real life collaboration. Megan and Amy met up in Chicago to cross something off their Life Lists. The outing involved chickens and a local celebrity.

August, you’re off to a good start.

If you’re not a member of Go Mighty, our Life List community, don’t be shy. Invitations are issued within 24 hours of sign up.

Have you checked in on your Life List lately? A few projects I’ve got my eye on right now:

-Bonnie is cultivating a sexy hobby I’d never heard of.

-Remember Victoria Smith who helped me redecorate my bedroom? Well she’s starting a thinky summer project that makes me happy.

– Hooray for Harmony who just checked off something close to my heart. Her story made me a little weepy. 

ALSO! We got notifications. Yesssss.

If you haven’t been to Go Mighty in a while, please come check out the activity feed on your profile.

Now you can finally!! see what your friends are adding to or crossing off of their Life Lists, and what they’re saying about yours. I’m stupid excited about this because one of our main goals with Go Mighty was to let people collaborate (You want to drive an ice cream truck? I own an ice cream truck!) and this feature makes that possible. So go do things! We like to watch. And I mean that in the creepiest way possible.

If you haven’t joined Go Mighty yet, please do. Once you’ve registered, you should receive your invitation within 24 hours. Jooooin us.

A lot of good stories were shared on Go Mighty last week:

– Are you a hugger? Sara needs your help.
– “She was timid, fearful. She wasn’t sure of her place in the world, and she cared far too much about the opinions of others. The girl that sobbed on I-75 south from Cleveland, Tennessee to Atlanta in 2001 has been replaced by this woman who stopped waiting for her life to start.” Jessie, is beginning a new adventure.
– Sharon is on week 17 of her portrait project.
– My friend Jessica crossed something major off of her list. Congrats, sis.
– Sarah shares what she chose to do with her $1,000 Life List grant. It’s a good thing.

Go Mighty is still in beta, but we’re processing invitations within about 24 hours now, so come add your Life List and tell us what goal you’re crossing off next.

Holy, holy, a lot is happening on Go Mighty this week.

Natalie Holbrook‘s #MightyLove project is about small acts of kindness online. Go Mighty’s plan was to donate $500 to a battered women’s shelter in NYC once we got to 500 tweets/instagrams tagged #mightylove. Which happened in a couple of hours. What the what? You guys are the best. The project is still going strong until April 12, so throw a compliment someone’s way. Meanwhile, Natalie is posting her favorite compliments on Go Mighty, so go see if you’re on her list.

My Go Mighty Skillshare class on Life Lists starts Monday, and one participant will receive a $1,000 goal grant from Go Mighty. Last month’s grant went to Emrys Kim, who’s planning a trip to South Korea to take spoken histories of women who were coerced into brothels during the Japanese occupation. Sign up for the class and let us know your plans.

We’re in our third week of the #ThankAWriter project with Nathan Bransford. Nathan’s letter this week was to the author and teacher that encouraged him to write his first novel. You should read it. Moving stuff.

I’ve enjoyed reading about which writers inspire you all and why. Here are a few letters written by Go Mighty members this week: To Kazuo Ishiguro, To Sharon G. Flake, To Lois Lowry, To Kay Ryan, To Martin Waddell,  To Pam Houston, To Mo Willems.

So much good stuff, right? Keep it up, team. We are a snowball rolling downhill.

Life LIst Inspiration

In middle income families, there are thirteen books per child at home. In low income families, there is one book available per three hundred children. Libby wants to change the statistics in her community and she needs a little advice.

You won’t find a book in Helen Jane’s library, but, if you need a punch bowl, you’re in luck.

I love a good quest. Go, Corinna.

“I think about the families that made these dilapidated structures homes when they were shiny and new.  I think of how tough life must have been in this dry, hot land before all the modern conveniences. I wonder where the people went.” – Chriss wants to photograph 100 abandoned houses.

Want a simple way to learn a new language? There’s an app for that. Thanks, Mary.

Harmony recently learned something surprising about her birth, which prompted this addition to her life list.

Emily wants to pick up a microphone with the confidence of Kanye West. Diction direction needed, team.

Kelly checked “Do a pin-up photo shoot off her life list.” That last one is Varga perfection.

A month of service from Winter.

My friend Stacey is learning American Sign Language in order to better communicate and connect with her sister. Her first class was this week.

If you live in the Los Angeles area and you’re crafty, Jennifer needs help with the latest Craft Hope project.

One mile a day for a year.

Paper and pens are my lovers, too, Torrie.

“The chair feels old and wise and wanting like the Velveteen Rabbit, asking to be loved just as it is…” – Thanks for sharing this, Loren.

Here’s an idea: Just inhabit your body.

Fascinating. Ava has found a way to actively explore her family history through travel.

We’re capturing all of the progress you are making on your life list goals by joining our 20 Minute Project on Pinterest.

How did you spend your 20 minutes of intention this week?

Team Project: 20 Minutes

20 Minute Project

Hi, guys. The Go Mighty community has a project going. In February, we’re focusing on intention. Specifically, taking 20 minutes every day to do something that moves your life toward where you want to be at the end of this year, or the next five years.

If you play along, tell us about it in a story on Go Mighty with the tag ’20 Minutes,’ or on Twitter or Instagram using #20Minutes. Every day, Team Mighty will choose one person to receive a gift from the folks at RedEnvelope and we will be announcing the gifts each week on Friday. (You can see the selection of gifts here.)

Now go do something good.

This reminds me of my life list goal to get in the habit of grand loving gestures.

Less stress. More focus. Has anyone tried this? Did it make a difference in your overall mood and productivity?

Pin-up photo shoot in progress. Go, Kelly.

So many of you have begun year-long projects in 2013. I like this one from Loren.

“Mostly I just want my list to breathe and flex, because I want my life to breathe and flex. I want to know the line between defining my goals and my goals defining me.” – Thank you for sharing this, Cindy.
