40 Before 40

Pin It

I was inspired to put together a 40 things to do before I turn 40 list by Roshini over at Glamazini.com.
I've made lists of short term and long term goals before and currently I even have a Law Of Attraction binder put together. Still, there was something about a 40 before 40 list that sounded fun!
I'm 35 and had to actually do some subtraction to figure that out. I was about to write 36, but because I can't remember how old I am half the time, I thought I better calculate it first! I started not caring much about age after I turned 30 and tend to lose track.
Some of the things on my list I have done before, but now would like to experience with my family. Some things will be completely brand new to me. Some items I am currently working on and some are in my visualizations. Some, I haven't even discovered yet, but I've left space for those!

If you create your own list, please share! It's so interesting to see the goals that others have set for themselves.

  1. Wow, it's so interesting to read your goals - you go girl, this all sounds fantastic. If you ever come by Australia - me and Viper can help you out with #18!

    Oh, and totally try #36 asap - it's so so easy and delicious! Once you start you can't stop brewing :)

    I'm going to go and think of my 40 now :)

  2. I love lists like these! Our dreams & goals are always changing, but I do have a list on my blog for them. It's not long, but they're definitely what we want right now. :)

  4. I've been inspired and started making a SCOBY for my bucha tonight. I guess I'll see how it turns out in a couple weeks :)
    Lou, we are there!
    Molly, I'm going to go check your out. How fun!
    Lisa, that's awesome! If my batch is not so tastey maybe she can give me some pointers.

  5. Awesome! I am currently working on a 30 before 30 goal, but great call on your part to give yourself 5 years, rather than 1:) I think the best part about this kind of a task is how enriched life will be if you even do half of it. Good luck in all of these endeavors!

    Hey, I've done #19

    Ok, #24 cracked me up. I can't figure out the focus on my camera and lost the manuel. #itnevahdo

    There is no way I'm doing #32, I am scared of the fish

  10. I love that you stopped keeping track of your age after 30! I did the same thing and always have to ask my husband when it comes up. :-)

    Your tattoo is beautiful. I am enjoying your blog, you may have already said but why did you choose the grape design? Thanks for visiting my blog!
