EXPERIENCES COMPLETED
I'm 36, a list-lover, and officially choosing to live life more intentionally. For my birthday this year, I made a list of 36 things I want to do, try, learn, and experience over the next 12 months. Some are big, some are silly, some will challenge me—and all of them are meant to make this year feel full, joyful, and a little unpredictable.
This blog is where I share the journey: the wins, the awkward moments, the surprises, and the lessons that sneak up on me. It’s part adventure log, part personal growth experiment, and all about celebrating what it means to show up for life—mid-thirties style. If you’re here to cheer along, relate, or maybe even start your own list, welcome. Let’s see what happens when year 36 is lived out loud, on purpose, and with a lot of heart.
