And one year later it has come to an end. My #30by30 list has reached it’s deadline. Today. Welcome to 30. As you go through this list, you may notice it doesn’t exactly reach 30, but I didn’t want to focus on what I didn’t complete but what I did. Through the year some of the things on the list, didn’t seem as important, I lost interest, or financially they have been placed on hold. The ones I did complete, I did so proudly, I’ve spent a year pushing myself, gaining confidence, figuring out who I was and accepting challenges like never before.

This year hasn’t been easy, I went through some things that were personally some of the more difficult habits that I had to face. I’ve come through it stronger, and in a better place than I have been in a while. So what next? I continue to embrace the new. I continue to push, to challenge and to dream. Do I have an exact list? Not really. Do I have things I want to try? to accomplish? to face head on? Of course!

So here’s to 30!
To another year!
To challenges, friendships, goals added, dreams completed.

  Read the Bible from cover to cover.

Finished 2/22/2016- Chronological Reading Plan.

  Volunteer 100 hours outside the church.

 

 Take a row class at the boat house.

 

  Read 100 Books of various genres.

I’m going to count this one as complete because this year although I didn’t read the amount of books I set out to, I enjoyed the books I read, I branched out more than I usually do, and I’ve learned a lot through these books. This past year I didn’t feel overwhelmed about having to read fast to keep up with reviews. I simply enjoyed reading.

  Redefining Me

I’ve made many changes over the last years, wardrobe, job, who I am, growing and learning. I am happy with who I am, I’ve learned to embrace me as an individual quirks and all. I embrace my nerdiness and I am not afraid to show it, in fact I’m done filtering my nerd and just being me.
