I turned 30 this year and I’m beginning to think they lied to me…

“You can do anything, be anything, go anywhere, have everything … work hard, be a good girl, all your dreams can come true!”  (cue inspiring music and dancing unicorns)

So, um, I’m starting to think that may have been a wee stretch of the truth.  Maybe I haven’t reaped the ultimate reward of all encompassing life happiness because I’ve made too many mistakes.  Maybe I haven’t *really* given my all, haven’t really been the *best* person I possibly could, haven’t really *worked* as hard as I could have to catch my shooting star.  I thought I was … but maybe not.

So, I’m conducting an experiment.   As of today I am all in … everything I want, everything I want to be, everything I want to experience … I’m going for it.  Now, I’m gonna be smart about it.  I’m not going to quit my day job to chase candy-coated-cowgirl dreams … I’m inspired not crazy (or stupid). 

I’m going to create a plan, establish objectives, develop a strategy, implement a process – sure, execution will most likely fall somewhere shy of flawless, but you’ve gotta start somewhere, right?! Right. 

And the first order of business is to put it all out there, let the world know that contrary to what I may have been telling you … my life is not everything I thought it would be and yeah, 30 snuck up on me, slapped me up alongside the head, then laughed at my surprise!  (it did I swear , never saw it coming).

Maybe we’ll learn something?  God I hope I learn something!  Okay … um, where do I “mapquest” this bitch uh, thing?
