Happy February folks. I thought I'd offer an update my my 35 things to do my 35th year list. This list has brought so much light and energy into so many aspects of my life. I'm so grateful to Laura at 3 little birds for inspiring me. Just like anything in life I've had good days and bad as far as sticking to the list. But overall I'm proud of the changes.
Things To Do
1. Read 12 books. -I'm about to start book number 4! - I've already reviewed The Paris Wife, more reviews to come. I am most grateful to this list for lighting my book reading fire again. I expect to surpass 12 before summer
2. Send birthday cards to my nearest and dearest -January Done! I LOVE doing this
3. Fix my watch -to be done as soon as the budget allows
4. journal daily (even if its one sentence) -I started January strong with this but the last week or so I have been less diligent but I've already journaled more than i have in the last few years.
5. Discover one new musical artist a month -January's artist was the Temper Trap, I'm excited about February's artist. This too has breathed so much life into me. My journal is fast filling with names to explore.
6. Wear more jewelry-January was a pretty good month.
