I made a list of 30 things for my 30’s on my birthday in February and I deliberately choose the whole decade instead of a year because my list was about big life decisions instead of small things to do. I re-read that post just to do a quick checkup on how I was feeling and doing. Surprisingly I have a few things to check off and a few more in the works.
30 Things for my 30’s
30. Run a 5K, as much as I don’t like running I feel like it would give me a sense of accomplishment.
29. Become a yoga instructor. Take the teacher training and have my practice go to a new level.
28. Continue working out 4-5 times a week. I know how important this is for my emotional and physical well being.
27. Try something new fitness related every month, it could be a class, a workout or just a new weight lifting move.
26. Learn to somewhat enjoy running, I may never like it but I don’t know until I try a whole program.
25. Go to cooking school, even if its just a short program. This is something I have been thinking about for a long time! Maybe I will take just 1 take one class or a whole program.
24. Focus on cooking unique recipes with healthy ingredients.
23. Nourish my body with healthy, whole foods. But I will still eat everything in moderation!
22. Have one of my recipes published in a cook book.
21. Learn about cheese and what each pairs with.
20. Visit Asia
19. Take a vacation by my myself.
18. Visit at least 5 new countries.
17. Fill a passport.
16. Take a 2 week trip, when in our adulthood do we ever take more than a few days off. I desperately want to take a 2 week vacation and really cherish every moment of relaxation.
15. Visit wineries in France.
14. Tour the wine country in Oregon and Washington.
13. Volunteer at a winery and learn more about the process of making wine.
12.Work in the wine industry in some way shape or form
11. Become a sommelier. This one is a big stretch but I know there are good programs out there!
10. Move to a new city, it could be in Minnesota, another state or even a new Country.
9. Continue to expand my core group of friends.
8. Seek out friendships that are truly supportive and rewarding.
7. Get a 2nd dog, Clifford really needs a friend.
6. Meet a great guy. A guy who is intelligent, goal oriented, educated, into fitness, food, travel, and wine, is affectionate and a great communicator who is truly present in a relationship. (Is that really too much to ask for 
)
5. Have a family. Up until the last few years I hadn’t really wanted kids but this is something that I do want to experience with the right person at the right time.
4. Grow my relationship with my family, including my Mom and Bill, Dad and Gloria, Paul, Alli and Katy, and my extended family.
3. Find a job I am truly passionate about.
2. Feel at peace with my life and surroundings. Whatever that may be!
1. Be myself. What you see is what you get with me, I don’t have any interest in not being 100% myself. I am not perfect but I am a strong, intelligent, determined, caring, funny, and focused.
Five things on a list of 30 feels pretty good!
27. Try something new fitness related every month, it could be a class, a workout or just a new weight lifting move. (I have done something new every month)
22. Have one of my recipes published in a cook book. (Happening in October)
16. Take a 2 week trip, when in our adulthood do we ever take more than a few days off. I desperately want to take a 2 week vacation and really cherish every moment of relaxation. (Happening in November!)
4. Grow my relationship with my family, including my Mom and Bill, Dad and Gloria, Paul, Ali and Katy, and my extended family.
3. Find a job I am truly passionate about. (I am loving my new job, it challenges and rewards daily)
