This decade has been very challenging - I have experienced life in a whole new way - I've seen life, death, sadness, and pure joy. I am parenting a baby again, my first daughter, and a teenager. I feel like I've come to understand myself better and I've definitely mellowed a bit. I can laugh at myself. I have come to embrace this body God has given me. I feel like I know my style - in my home and in my closet. I think I know where I want to be in another ten years. I've deepened relationships. I've walked through some pretty dark, scary, and overwhelming stuff and I made it through to the other side with a few scars and a new joy and resolve in my heart.
When I was turning 39, I started brainstorming a list of 12 things I wanted to do during this last year of my thirties. I wanted the list to stretch me - some of them are physically challenging, some are to grow me spiritually, some are things I've never experienced, and some are just for fun.
Here's my list!!
