29 before 30

I wanted to share my "29 before 30" birthday goal list.  I'm sure you've seen tons of bloggers do these types of lists.  Basically it's a list of 29 things I want to do before I turn 30.  I tried to keep my list simple, because that comes down to doing an average of 2 things per month.  Not so accomplishable if you aim too high.  That said, I hope I will be able to cross off all of the things on my list before I turn 30.  I wanted too keep this list fun and happy.  Of course, there are a lot of goals I have for myself this year that are not so playful, like organizing and such (which I'm actually starting to look at differently--it can be fun.  It's one step closer to painting and decorating after all!).  So there you go.  I hope you enjoy taking a peek into my silly dreams.  Actually, it's really kind of important to do things like this.  It keeps your heart happy in this tough world we live in.  Happy dreaming friends!

new year

It's a new year.  Time for new & fresh ideas, new resolutions, new goals.  I wanted to give my blog a fresh new look to go along with the new year.  Lighter, more peaceful.  I've been allowing my resolutions and goals to bounce around in my brain for these first few days of 2011.  I'm a little overwhelmed with the planning process that's going on in my head right now.  I think if I could sum up my goals into one sort of phrase or idea, it would be, "follow through".  So many times I come up with all these fantastic ideas only to find myself scared of actually doing them, and coming up with plenty of excuses to not actually do what I intended.  It's easier not to.  It's safer staying in my own little bubble.  The thing is though, ...I'm not comfortable with that anymore.  The time has come for me to really push forward and motivate myself to chase after my dreams, however big or small.  Over the next few days, I plan on sharing with you my 2011 resolution list, my "29 before 30" list, and my blogging plans for this year.  There are lots of brave and exciting changes on the horizon, and I am so optimistic!
