Three months ago, I set up a challenge for myself. I wanted to run through a list of 30 tasks before I turned 30 years old.
You helped me build my list of tasks! You started your own lists. It feels like were all out in the world trying to do good, be better and share cupcakes.
Except. Well. Um
I havent given you an update on my 30 Things list because well Ive already gone and turned 30 and Im no where near done with my list.
So! The 30 Things Before 30 Years has become 30 Things For 30 Years.
Its a work in progress. Im a work in progress. So far, it all feels pretty good.
