a revised 30 by 30

A while ago I wrote a list of 30 things to do before I turned 30.

Then something dawned on me. I'm turning 25 in June. That only leaves me with 5 years to accomplish anything on the list.

More importantly, when I looked back over the list I realized that some of my larger life goals have changed. I have a different direction now, one that's more true to who I am and what I want from life. That being said, I think a revised 30 by 30 list is in order!
