Ten years ago I set a goal of 30 things I wanted to do before I turned 30. It was a fun list, and a busy year, and I was able to do most of the things on my list. As I've been thinking about my birthday coming up in tomorrow, I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do this year. I'm turning 39 years old tomorrow, which means I am one year away from the big 40! So I've decided to make a list of 40 things I want to accomplish before I turn 40. It's a big list, and it's going to take a lot of work, but I'm really excited to work on these goals and see what this next year brings. I'll journal my experiences here. If you want to join me on any of these goals, please let me know!
