I started reading back through Sarah’s Blog and came across this list that I decided to “borrow”.  I’ve actually been making mental notes of my goals since I turned 30 in August, and this week I even crossed a few items off the list – woot! I’ll check back once a week to see if I have anything new to cross off my list. Some items will need to be worked on throughout the year, so I’ll have to repost on August 1st when I turn 31 and see how I did 🙂
