I used to hate making goals. Since I’ve altered my thinking from “goal setting” to “things I want to do before I’m a certain age” I have discovered that I have many goals. I have never done anything on this list, and I would like to accomplish all of them. I’ve also posted this same list under “Life Goals” over there —–>
Here are my 30 before 30 (in no particular order):
- See Sufjan Stevens in concert
- Eat lobster
- Live within walking distance of a coffee shop/craft store/fancy cooking store (any would do)
- Write a song other than ones I make up on the spot every day
- See the Rocky Mountains
- Take dance lessons
- Completely gut and renovate an old house
- Land a permanent contract job
- Take voice lessons
- Talk in an accent for an evening in order to convince a stranger that it’s real
- Take a fancy cooking course (or several)
- See Ingrid Michaelson in concert
- Be a part of a show where people pay $20.00 or more to see
- Sing in front of a crowd
- See a show on Broadway
- Hit up a jazz club in downtown Montreal (must be drinking a martini when this occurs)
- Fall in love
- Teach nieces and nephews a choreographed song and dance number
- See the ocean (any one will do)
- Adopt a Greyhound dog
- Publish a children’s book (or three)
- Try my hand at some stand-up comedy
- Travel to the east coast
- Make flan
- Host an unnecessarily fancy dinner party (serve flan)
- Go scuba diving
- Babies! Birth, adopt, foster – any way they choose to come to me.
- Oh, get married (that first…then babies)
- Preach a sermon
- Change someone’s life (for the better)

>A Broadway show is amazing – I would suggest scouting out in advance when the celebrities are doing to the lesser know versions. I saw West Side Story two years ago and while it was incredible – the theatres are so small, I would have loved to have been that close to a celebrity – it's NYC why not?
>I have no doubt you can accomplish all of them…for bonus points, how many of them can you complete at the same time?
>I'm gonna guess your friends, family and the kids you teach would say you've already accomplished #30. 😉
>She has been changing my life for the better since the day she arrived!!!!
>#10 is easy. Just come down to the Southeastern USA, and you'll automatically be talking in an accent as far as all of us are concerned. As long as you say "eh" periodically, we might even believe it's a Canadian one when you tell us. 😀
