30 Goals by 30 Years

I've been trying to think of how to pick my blog back up. My main problem is that I want it to be more focused. I follow blogs that are all about cupcakes, writing a book, wedding ideas, etc. and their entries are nice and focused. I've come up with a few ideas and think I have it narrowed down, but for now I thought I'd try this...

I completely stole this idea from my bestie over at Sabrina's Writing Reflections who is turning 30 in the fall, but I thought it was such a great one. Lately I've been so focused on all the things I can't do, when what I need is to focus on all the things I can do. My 30th birthday will be October 12, 2015, so I've definitely got a little bit of time. Maybe I'll finish early and have a whole new set in a year or two...but for now, here's my list and I'll probably repost it with stuff crossed off every 6 months in order to see how I'm doing. In no particular order:

1. Participate in 6 craft fairs with my crochet stuff
2. Don't let others get me down and remember this every day, "You is kind, You is smart, You is important"
3. Read 30 new books (yes Sabrina I stole this)
4. Remember the little things and don't fight over money
5. Learn Italian or Spanish
6. Get 10,000 fans on my Facebook model page
7. Run a marathon
8. Remember to send out birthday/anniversary cards to my family/closest friends without them being late
9. Join a crochet/scrapbook/women's group (or 2) here in PA
10. Continue learning how to fix my '71 Camaro by myself
