Time truly flies! I cannot believe my next birthday milestone will be 40. Granted, it’s not for several more years [thank goodness!], but with life continuing to happen all around us, I wanted to truly focus on what matters to me – what I want to accomplish in my life, whether it’s big, small, silly, or life-changing.
I don’t know about you, but I am more likely to accomplish big goals and dreams if I’ve written them down somewhere. So without further adieu, here are 40 things I hope to and dream of accomplishing before I turn 40. I will come back to this post to cross things off of this list and update it with the date of completion, so stay tuned!
