I cannot believe it’s almost been a year since I created my 30 before 30 list. I gave myself a tad bit over a year to complete these tasks. My purpose was to do things I’ve always wanted to do and never have, as well as experiment.. and try things I’ve always been afraid to do. I wanted to take some steps in becoming a better person, a better friend, and a better soul. Here is an update on my progress with a little over 3 months left.

I hopefully will have time to blog in a little more detail about some of the best ones, but feel free to let me know if there’s anything you’d like to hear about in particular. As always the ones in red I’m definitely looking for guidance on and the orange ones will hopefully not slip through my fingers either.
