I don’t normally do new year resolutions, it’s such a difficult time of year to make change and I’ve only recently started doing the one word project.

So yesterday I turned 38 and it’s kinda crazy that I decided to do the birthday list thingy. I’ve always admired those who set their intentions, write a list and spend the year trying to make them happen.

This list contains achievable things (and some things already in the works) and items which may take longer than this year to make happen. That’s ok. It’s pretty brave for me to even write some of these down, so I don’t mind if some take longer.

My 38 things -

1. Sleep in and own a Bell tent
2. Help Luke do what he loves
3. Be debt free (not the mortgage coz that would be ridiculous)
4. Finally own a sofa we have chosen ourselves
5. Our boys to flourish in a school we choose
6. To carry on believing
7. To stay at an ace hotel
8. Grow sweet peas
9. To be in a real published book that you hold in your hands
10. To meet and have a cup of tea with Brene Brown
11. Collaborate, Gather, and Collaborate some more
12. Keep growing my business organically
13. To have painted nails everyday
14. De-clutter (not sure this is even possible)
15. Laugh till I cry
16. To be in love with all my boys more and more everyday
17. To live in full technicolor (I love it) – wear it, photograph it… surround myself in colour.
18. To travel to new places and visit NYC again
19. To visit our old home in Thailand
20. Make the ideas in my head come true
21. Wear more sparkles
22. Teach my ecourse live in person (scary but I think it feels right)
23. Upgrade my camera… I can dream of the 5Dmark3 or even the Nikon D800, right?
24. Have more days out in London
25. Camp lots (maybe even have our own wood one day)
26. Own another Lyric bag (or two!)
