40 Before 40
So, I’m doing this thing to celebrate turning 4o. A little 40 before 40 challenge. My big day is November 12th which means from now until then, I am trying to do 40 things. I made a bucket list of fun, some self care or just things I have been wanting to do and I am going to make time to make it happen. One of my friends saw “bucket list” and was a little hesitant as its the thing you do when your life is ending (don’t worry he politely teased me). But honestly, this is really the opposite of that. Its about LIVING. Its about embracing my 40’s head on and enjoying each day. My life is not over. Its in full swing and it is a good reminder to me AND anyone reading this to make time for yourself. Make time for your family. Make time to do things (even the small ones) to LIVE each day as best as you can.
To help hold myself accountable (AND because I keep getting asked) I am going to share my bucket list here. If you are not already, please follow me on instagram @blissstudiopdx as that is where I will share photos of the fun as I knock things off my list! There are already a few that I have accomplished so you can already see some of the posts. So LET’s DO THIS:
