& the list goes on...

Before I start this post, I want to say that I have been so inspired lately by someone name Tanya. Tanya is the creator of the blog, Major Must Haves. I started following and reading her blog a few months back and was drawn to her sense of fashion. Then as I began to read more of her posts, I saw there was more to her than just "fashion". She actually has substance to her posts; something you can relate to and be inspired by. My mother says you can get inspiration from any and everywhere; from people you know personally or not. I am beginning to see that she was indeed correct. So, thanks Tanya :-)

Sigh, ok....Now, onto my post....(lol)...

As most of you know, my birthday was a few weeks ago and I turned 25. I've never been one to get caught up on age and numbers, however this year I did want to do something I haven't done on any other birthday. I decided to make a list of 25 things to do while 25. I have done and been to many places and I am so blessed to have been able to do so. But I still have things I want to do and still have somethings I want to work on/improve. So, I sat at dinner with my bf one day and started on my list. It's always good to have plans and goals written down so you can refer back to them.

I  know this is a little of the path of my normal posts, but I wanted to share my list with my readers. Maybe I can encourage someone to make a list themselves.All in all, I have really decided to live life to the fullest, everyday and try new things. After all, that's what life is all about ;-)

Be blessed!
