Every year I create a bucket list of sorts. This year I’ve entitled it, “39 things Wendie will do while 39.” 2020 is a great motivator because not only is it a New Year and a new decade, but it is an overall chance to do better and become the best version of myself.
Admittedly, I can create all the goals I want, but if I’m not making them measurable and creative, inspiring or fun, then what’s the point? I want to feel fabulous and not frazzled. The word I have chosen as my “Word of the Year” is the word ADVANCE. It means to “move forward in a purposeful way.” This is very fitting for me, especially since I’m nearing the end of my 30s, am an older mama of littles, and want to do things more purposeful to keep up with their energetic selves!
So without further ado, here’s my bucket list for 2020!
