Synopsis: Feeling stuck? Veteran journalist and cancer survivor Lu Ann Cahn was feeling angry and frustrated. The economy was tanking. Her job was changing. In a word, she felt "stuck." Something had to change. Her daughter helped convince her to start a "Year of Firsts." For the next 365 days, Cahn made a point of doing something she had never done before, every day. Before she knew it, her whole perspective on life had changed. In this inspiring book, Lu Ann recounts how a new "first" everyday brought excitement and wonder back into her world. And more than that, she helps readers see how they can do it too. * Participate in a Polar Bear Plunge * Speak to a complete stranger on the street * Zip-line across a crocodile-infested Mexican lake * Spend a day in a wheelchair * Learn to Hula Hoop
