[...] by phone or email by 11PM EST on New Year’s Eve. No exceptions. I have dialed mine in from Cairo to Buenos Aires. My mom puts our Resolutions on paper and in a bottle in the back of the freezer to look at again [...]

Kirsten, what a great comment. These are the types of experiences that we can share living out of our comfort zone (as difficult as it is sometimes). It’s exactly like what you said: Andrew and I were just going through the routines–and some of them were great, but we were looking to change our whole focal point. And voila, we have for the time being. Thanks so much for your kind words. Are you in Paris? It’s Andrew’s favorite place in the world. I lived a semester in Lyon.

Isn’t it great to jump in the cold water again? Life can be so boring when you arrive in your comfort zone and you don’t even realize it. I really live for moments you describe here. Although I am not sure if I would have done something like this after I arrived in France 4 years ago.

After six weeks we even thought of going back to Germany because the French mentality drove us up the walls :). Really outstanding and I wish you all the best for the event.

Nacho, thanks for your comment. You are one of the great connections I’ve made from this! I look forward to meeting you tonight for the first of many times, I’m sure.

I think that any event you start, the very first time is quite “difficult” to make the noise possible to get known and get people to come. But, after the first one there are always people who wants to participate on the next edition and will spread the word.

I´ve heard of the event yesterday and i´m sure that will be the kick for more. If you need help just let me know. See you tonite.

I’ve watched you put this together, so I know how much work you put in. One of the side benefits from helping to put this together is that you’re getting to meet new people in Buenos Aires and in the do-gooder world in general.
