My 33rd Birthday was SPECTACULAR! I spent the weekend with my fabulous wonderful friends eating amazingly delicious food, laughing, smiling, and relaxing. It was just right. On my actual birthday I took the afternoon off, had a lovely massage, and spent some time reflecting on all the lessons I learned while I was 32. I decided to make a list of 34 things I wanted to accomplish and work on this next year, before I turn 34. I have a feeling some of them will be easy to achieve and some of them will take a lifetime of work.
What would you like to accomplish/learn/work on this next year?
