The 40 b4 40 Challenge

4 01 2012

My Twitter friend Lana tweeted the other night that she was writing a list of 30 things to do before she turns 30 in November. Since I’m turning 40 in November, I thought this sounded like a great challenge. Thanks for the inspiration Lana! Her blog is here.

Each time I achieve one of my goals, I’ll blog about it. If I don’t achieve them, I’ll blog about that too. Here it is, my 40 b4 40.

Hey, it was great meeting you in Wellington. In the taxi in Sydney going home looking at your blog on my iPad (of course)! Love your noble ambition to bake a cake and a 3 course meal. Can so relate!
Really interesting blog! Talk soon.
