Since my birthday in February, this year has been...awful and amazing and intense and incredible, to say the least. I have upheaved* my life in several major ways. It could have been a lofty enough goal for me to just hang in there.
BUT.
I'm me. And I'm ready to conquer.
Since I'm 31 this year, I came up with 31 things that I want to do and ways I want to grow before my year is up. So even though I'm out of the gate six months late, I'm going for it.
