Number 1 - Writing a blog
A birthday gift that reminds me everyday to embrace my year of 35 @samalala |
A few months ago I turned 35, and yes I know what you’re all thinking...she doesn't look a day over 25! Haha.
It was the first time I thought to myself, I wish I was still 25. How the last 10 years, an entire decade, has seemed to have flown by. While I’ve been so lucky to have achieved so much over the last few years, I also realised that I may not be at the stage in my life that I’d have once imagined. And yes the thought of this sent me into a mini meltdown...as there’s so many things I’ve wanted to do and for one reason or another I’ve put them off.
Either it wasn’t the right timing, I didn’t have the courage, something else was more important, or that I’d wait until I was able to share those experiences with someone. And while many of these reasons are still true, I’ve decided to just get on with it, stop worrying, stop overthinking and if there’s an opportunity to do one of those things, to just say ‘YES’, and if there isn’t, well then I’d promise myself to find a way to create the opportunities to do them and make it happen.

I spoke about this with Sam one day. We’ve been friends for 3 years now and one of the things I love about Sam is her infectious positive energy and creativity...and whilst she was trying to convince me to join her in climbing a mountain haha, she had an idea!
'OMG! I’ve just thought of something. You should do the year of 35!
35 things you've never done before. They could be big or they could be small, and you should write a blog about it.
