When July 2015 hits I’ll be turning the big 3-OH! I’m sure you’ve all seen the “30 Before 30 Challenge” well, I’m jumping on that band wagon. See my list below. I’ll be sure to link back here as each of my 30 goals gets completed. I know I’m starting this a little early (as I have just shy of 18 months rather than 1 year but 1 goal, Run a Marathon, takes some serious training, especially when my current running is basically non existent)
1. Run a Marathon (bonus points if it’s completed in under 4 hours)
2. Make my way back to Camp Glen Spey (a Girl Scout camp that I have many fond memories at)
3. Start a retirement account (I know, this should have happened 10 years ago, no need give me the guilt trip)
4. Master baking the Parisian Macaron
5. Be confident in a bikini on a tropical beach (read between the lines I worked a tropical/Caribbean trip in there)
6. Learn Yoga; master at least one crazy pose
7.Study/Pass Interior Design Certification Exam
8. Study/Pass LEED certification Exam
9. Master a long exposure image (preferably of the stars)
10. Select a “signature” adult cocktail (Captain & Coke although my favorite doesn’t seem appropriate at all events anymore)
11. Buy a house
12. watch ever Disney animated movie ever made
13. watch the 100 greatest movies ever made list
14.Open an Etsy shop
15.Volunteer (something art/outdoors related would be ideal)

24.Pack a bag, go to the airport, and board the cheapest flight I can find.
25.Have artwork featured in a show
