52 New Things: A List of Goals for My 30th Year (Update)

      I loved working on my list of 52 new things this past year. I only managed to accomplish 41, but I'm still proud of myself. That's 41 new things! Some of the items I would have done anyway, but there are others I know I only attempted because they were on "the list" (i.e. trying rutabaga, venison, etc).

      I love being intentional about goals, big and small. I plan to continue to make lists of new things. Stay tuned for my list of things to accomplish in my 31st year.
