30 before 30




My 25th birthday looms (July 2011) and it dawned on me that I’m now a mere 5 years away from turning 30 and my twenties will be gone.  I’ve always set pretty high goals for myself and I decided it was time to collect and document my 30 before 30.  Being an adult is hard at times but every single “to do” on this list is going to be something I'll never forget.  I am, along with this list, a work in progress.  
1. FORGIVE AND FORGET
2. Be in the best shape of my life
3. Cut 99% of meat out of my diet
4. Open my heart to someone 
5. Plant and cultivate my own garden 
6. Visit NYC, travel through Europe and experience South East Asia. 
7. Swim with dolphins
8. Skinny dip
9. Take ballroom dance lessons 
10. Buy my first home

15. Produce and bottle a sparkling wine

19. Start a family 
20. Commit to yoga/pilates 
21. Sky dive
