Blah! Don't be a fuddy duddy. Most people do stuff like this to get out of their rut and reinvent themselves. Sometimes we just have break free of our thought patterns to remind ourselves what it means to be alive. Crisis or no! Anyway, what is "crazy" other than something we wouldn't normally do or think of. Shake things up a bit (but in a good way)...she doesn't have to join the circus or rob a bank or anything (though the extra money wouldn't hurt I bet). ;-)

Your list of suggestions sounds like stuff similar to what she does anyway (I am guessing based on blog data). Maybe I should say "go find some adventure"..is that more palatable? Whatever you do, though don't do this alone...this is what friends are for.

Anyway, what works for one won't necessarily work for all. She'll decide when its time.

Wasn't this about her dreads? I think they looked cool. Better pic, though???
