So yesterday, I turned 35! Eeek, the big 3..5.. Love it!! Today I wanted to figure out a way to make 35 more of a meaningful celebration than just one day. I thought about doing a list of things I wanted to accomplish this year. This list was inspired by the awesome Elise at Polka Dotted Blue Jay. I found her 30 while 30 post back in March and decided that, if I am still alive and breathing, I would like to do something similar. So, here’s my list.
To make things even more interesting for me (because I really am trying to get out of my comfort zones), I plan to donate $5 for every item not accomplished by July 21, 2016 to the Alzheimer’s Association in honor of my great-grandmother. If I do accomplish everything, I will donate $200 in her name.
