Overwhelmed, yet?
In 24 years, Libs Segal, a stand up comic, writer, and associate producer has played field hockey, baseball, softball, soccer, and basketball.
She has done ballet, played clarinet, swam, competed in the 24 game challenge, drawn a sketchbook of animal images, ran a half-marathon, and gone skiing. She has made films, published essays, managed a blog, collected baseball cards, taken thousands of photos, participated in an acting class, and has traveled around Europe.
AND now she is on a year long quest to try anything and everything that she has yet to have tried–a year long quest to take risks–a year long quest to fall down, and get back up–and last but not least a year long quest for sexiness, health, adventure, self-reflection, and happiness.
Too often we get stuck in our 9-5 jobs or our 10-6′s. We go home and think a reward is vegging out. Through this year, I hope to inspire you to want to try something new. Remember–we can take off any time we want–because life’s accidental blessings will catch us.
52 Hobbies in 52 Weeks.
The quest to become a professional amateur is ON.
Libs Segal is THE Hobby Hoarder.
You are willing to go where no hobbiest has gone before. You rock!
I think this has all the makings of a reality show–either for the small screen or the web. What do you say? Might even be another hobby for you…
100 percent in
LIbby!!!! I love all these things you are doing! It’s amazing and seems like a TON of fun!!! Miss ya girly!!! Maybe if I come back for a visit in the Big Apple anytime soon I can join you for a hobby!!!!
C!!!! Thank you so much. My courage and strength to do all these things came from many of the people I met the last two years of college who accepted and pushed me to continue being myself- just as I am. That’s a tribute to you. Love you and miss you
