My twenties were great and my twenties also sucked. But all of the sucky parts helped me grow and learn and prepare myself for the rest of my life. By 30 we really begin to find ourselves, meet ourselves, and settle into our own skin. Everything that has happened in the last 29 years of my life has educated my soul in the best possible ways. I finally feel content and happy every day.
But I'm not one to just settle into life. I'm always looking for ways keep growing, to keep accomplishing, to keep becoming the best possible version of myself that I can be. So with the help of my husband and my daughter this morning I finally finished my "30 Before 30" list. I've already started to accomplish a few things on the list and I cannot wait to finish them all. So here it is, 30 things I want to accomplish before I turn 30.
30 Things to Accomplish Before Turning 30

Of course you will! You inspire me and make me want to be a better person every day. Thank you.
I adore your list. I just wrote a really long comment and the baby distracted me and I accidentally deleted it. Oh well.
I believe you will!! There's always the 40 before 40 list that I'm on. LOL
Thanks Tiff! You inspired me to come up with the last few things on the list. I literally called a family meeting this morning so they could help me think up the rest of the goals to set. And sure, blame the baby ;)
