The 30 B4 30 List

So I shared a few weeks back about about my grand plan of a 30 things to do before I’m 30 (and my brother moves home … crossing fingers) After much thinking, planning, scrambling and consulting, here is what made the big list:

1. Rock crazy highlighs

2. Finally write a novel (actually do it and stop just saying your going to do it and putting it on “to do” lists)

3. Hit 130lbs

4. Read all the Jane Austen’s

5. Take more photos using a camera instead of just my phone

6. Get caught up on Scrapbook projects

7. Plant a garden

8. Create the perfect no sugar chocolate bread/muffin

9. Read Anne of Green Gables to Elsie

10. Make a full/queen sized quilt

11. Self-publish children’s book

12. Celebrate 6, 7, and 8 years of marriage

13. Do a 5k

14. Shop at a Farmer’s Market

15. Make 5 quilts

16. Bake 40 loaves of bread

17. Bake 10 pies

18. Have the most perfect tea party with Elsie

19. Get real photo booth photos

20. Make something wearable

21. Read Bible cover to cover

22. Attend a writer’s conference (or something to better my writing)

23. Send someone flowers

24. Make my bedroom super beautiful

25. Paint a massively large canvas

26. Go camping — in a tent

27. Make a perfect inspiration board

28. Buy a great dress

29. Visit a winery

30. Get my passport

While I don’t have a lot to tell you about the storyline, the general idea is if the Grinch and Buddy the Elf were stuck on a roadtrip together at Christmas time (the Grinch is female in this story!)

That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened. 

I’m really glad I didn’t. To be honest, this person wasn’t wrong. At the time I wasn’t very good at writing. It was early on in my career. Hearing that I should give up was a punch to my gut and I had two choices. 

I could listen, and not write ever again.

OR

I could buckle down and get better. 

I chose to get better. I still don’t think I’ve “arrived” but I am a lot better than I was then. 

So this is me telling you — don’t ever stop dreaming, don’t ever stop learning, and don’t take bad advice. 

You got this. I’m cheering for you.
