A word from Missy to kick off your next season, adventure, day or challenge…
Go ahead and eat it, even if it’s past the 5-second rule.
Skip the anti-bacterial soap and let your immune system do the fighting.
Skip the antibiotics…chances are it’s a virus.
Let your child work with knives. The learning will astonish you both.
Take that job offer, even if, especially if, you think you’re under-qualified.
Take that trip to an undiscovered part of your world.
Yes, your son can walk to the store by himself.
And, your daughter should learn to build a good fire.
And even if you think you haven’t trained enough, do that race anyway.
Live dangerously…learning awaits.
How do you live dangerously? Tell me.

First of all I’m old but look and feel young! Myself and two friends hiked to the top of Mount LeConte near Gaitlinburg, TN. May this year. It was very hard for me but a trip I had to complete. I have a breathing problem and I also have MD. My two friends are younger than me and had never done a hike before so I was their tour guide. We had all kinds of fun and all kinds of weather to deal with, but the best part was seeing my NY city girlfriend pee in the woods the first time in her life. Its all about life, friends and fun.
My most dangerous moments were hiking down a mountain in the fog and rain trying not to scare my New York city girlfriend that the large scat we saw was only from a raccoon.
Great Friends, great times. Nancy, Judy and me May 2012
Never heard of your catalog untill tonight waiting for my wife to come home just read through it right on to you and all the women live dangerously ,and to hell with the scientist lady as my sister always says go for the gusto tear it up Peter
When I got serious about exercise, I extended my focus to home maintenance and got rid of the riding mower. I live on two acres, and on a hot day it can take me 3.5 – 4 hours to finish just the front yard – – but what a great workout. I run, swim, and road bike, but none of those activities give me the added bonus of a beautifully groomed landscape at the end of the workout.
Swam a 1.5 mile open water swim without “really” training for it, but I knew I was in better overall shape than the first time I did it (2010), so I went for it–and it was terrific. Really proud of myself! Next year, I’m going for speed, not just survival!
Yup, I swam the 1.5 mile open water Echo Lake Swim for the second year, even though I hadn’t gotten in the long swims, etc. that I’d done for the first one. I didn’t drown! Pretty darn proud of myself.
A few years ago my New Year’s resolution was to say “yes” to everything and I did. What I learned is that it is incredibly empowering to feel and know when to say “no”, I mean “Hell No!” I live dangerously by following my heart and intuition everyday. I absolutely love this catalog, it inspires me to live each day to the fullest. Thanks.
As a scientist, a mother, and a public health expert I am dismayed by some of the suggestions on your list and your tongue – in- cheek endorsement of hitchiking in the current catalougue. How about encouraging women to live courageously and responsibly, rather than encouraging them to risk their health, safety and the health and safety of those they care about. Not at all impressed with the current campaign and won’t be patronizing Title Nine any time in the future.
I don’t. Until now…
😉
Yes! Job well done, JM Randolph! 🙂 YOU are what keeps other women going, doing and accomplishing! Keep up the good work and here’s to many more obstacles overcome!
Great list! How I’m living dangerously now and in the days to come:
I cancelled all my credit cards
I’m no longer believing in limitations
Saying yes as often as possible
Getting my writing out there even if I think it’s not ready
Running, running, running!
