30 Things to do Before You Turn 30! 50 Things Every Girl Should Do In Her Lifetime! Turning 30: 30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know! 15 Skills Every Woman Should Master! I read a few here and there. I smiled at some knowing I had checked off a number of "To Dos." However for some, I just rolled my eyes. Look good in a photo. Really? When did it become necessary to accomplish certain things in my lifetime based on my age or gender? While some of these lists were old, I swear they somehow surface the day after you turn 30. C-O-N...spiracy.
A few months after my 30th birthday, I was invited to a party where I won a book titled, you guessed it, What Every Woman Should Do Once by Claudine Gandolfi. Here we go again. I didn't see the point in these lists. Just live your life and those memorable people, places and things will appear, right? Then I started to think about a few great moments I've experienced that I had to make myself do.
-- Throw caution to the wind and your budget. Check...and repeat.
-- Wear sequins. Did that.
-- Go to Europe for a week with your best friend. Done.
-- Fall in love. Ugh. Been there.
-- Take a road trip. Complete!
I realized some people have to be told to live! We get so caught up in doing the things that keep our life moving. Work. Bills. Sleep. Rinse and repeat. But what about doing things you'll actually remember, love, laugh at and look back and smile on?
So I decided to open What Every Woman Should Do Once and do the things Claudine suggests. I imagine I'll feel fulfilled, silly, excited, scared, happy and regretful but "Imma Do It." This blog is where you can read about my experiences. Won't you join me?
