What *Is* This Blog?

I acknowledge that the concept for this blog is 100% recycled, but why not take a great idea and style it your own way?

In two months, I will be 35. You know- that "dreaded" age where you are told that your biological clock has expired.

Hogwash, I say.

Those of you may remember the days when I used to write a blog about my divorce. If you don't - that's OK. It's been an exciting two + years since those days and I have an entirely new life now that I am happily settling into. But, that doesn't change the fact that I am about to be a childless female at the age of 35. Mind you, this decision is largely by choice, but it's a decision all the same. So, I've decided to beat my non-existent Biological Clock Blues by challenging myself to do 20 new things this year.

That's right, 20 new things.

Now, you may ask why it is I don't choose to do 35 new things, and that is a very good question. I haven't yet mapped out what my "20 Things" are going to be, and I figure that a lot of them may cost money. I don't know this for sure yet, but they might. So, in anticipation of this (and in keeping my funds in check), I'm going to go ahead and start with my "20 Things" and go from there.

What are these things? Well, I don't fully know yet, but I hope they are things that will inspire me. Cause me to feel. Give me pride in myself. Open and broad my horizons. Allow me to meet new people. Inspire me to be a better person. Some of them will be superficial, some of them will not. I truly have no idea. But, I'm giving myself 14 months (until my 36th birthday) to accomplish these tasks.

I imagine some of them will be a success, and some will be a failure, and that's all part of the learning curve. The real challenge is that I grab ahold of the opportunity and take it.

I hope you'll follow along with me.

Stay tuned for my new adventures! I'll be posting my first one this week. It's a simple one, but a big deal for me.

XOXO

    Become a big sister through the big brother/big sister foundation.
    Do a story hour at a local shelter (yanno, b/c you don't get enough of books already!)
