Go Mighty has partnered with Tourism Australia and Air New Zealand to send ten of our members to the land down under! From tea in Sydney to hugging a koala, their goals run the gamut of all Australia has to offer. We could not more thrilled and excited to watch them discover a new country and cross things off their Go Mighty lists!

Over the next few weeks, they’ll be taking off and sharing their experiences along the way. Here's each of their first installments. Take a look and maybe you can crib some of their amazing ideas for your #GoAustralia adventure.

Last week marked the launch of our weekly challenge series, where each week brings us closer to completing a goal. Most of us have a class we've been meaning to take or a skill we'd like to acquire on our Life Lists. To get things started, we challenged the Go Mighty community to schedule an hour to: 

Research a goal,

Sign up for a class,

Gather the materials you need,

Or enlist a friend for support,

And share your progress using the tag #hourone.

Bonnie got started on the Artist's Way. Megan did a little meditating. Sarah made something that looks pretty square to us. Lorien, yours is looking good too, girl. Liz got to stepping. Irish style. Rebecca learned a skill she missed in childhood. Amy tried a new writing technique. Karisa is going to be a fly girl in no time. Libby is giving Open Yale a go. Harmony made her union frame official. Daffodil is learning how to design her own book cover. We like Retta's approach to business. And Sharon, have you been working out? Yes.

This week's challenge is #gosummer. 

September 22 is the last official day of Summer. Did you miss anything? This week why not:

Plan something you hoped to fit in,

Consider what made this summer good, and make a reminder list for next year.

Think big for next summer by making a plan for how you can shift a cause you care about,
