    30 Before 30 Update

    Hi, friends! Almost exactly a year ago, I published 30 Before 30, talking about 30 things I wanted to do before I turn 30. I turned 28 a few months ago and still have a couple of years to tackle this list, but I thought it’d be fun to share a progress update and to see if there’s anything about the list I would change.

    2021 Intentions and Goals

    Hi, friends. Hope you are hanging in there and taking care of yourself. Since the Wednesday capitol attack by white supremacists, I have been doing lots of thinking and reflecting. I am focusing on things I can control and actions I can personally take.

    Thoughts as a Newly 28 year old

    Hi, friends! I am writing this blog post as a newly 28 year old. I will warn you that this is going to be a type of word vomit. My mind has been all over the place recently, especially this past week with the election outcome being up in the air. At the time of writing this, we finally know Biden-Harris has won the election, and I am taking this as a belated birthday gift haha. While I am riding this election high, I wanted to reflect on the past year.
