30 Before 30

My previous goal setting wasn't working for me and I knew I needed a fresh focus. After celebrating my 26th birthday in 2011 it dawned on me that I'm now closer to 30 than 20. The idea of checking off a ton of fun stuff as I sail through the next few years really appealed. 

I first saw the idea of 30 before 30 at one of my favourite blogs; Making It Lovely and was inspired to create my own. Here's my 30 before 30...
