This would be a real good present for my #30. I know it's probably a little pricey, so I get it if it doesn't work... but I'm just saying. I really look forward to doing this!!
8. SWIM AT THE EDGE OF VICTORIA FALLS: You can actually swim at the edge of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe in what’s called Devil’s Pool, a natural rock pool at the very top of the falls with a height of about 100 meters.

23 Days to 29
Basically, what it comes down to is 11 years to accomplish all these goals!! Seems like a long time, but I could see never getting to any of them. Life so requires intentionality.
Right now, intentionality means being present in the season. The season of life I'm in right now is motherhood. Not that this season will ever technically leave me, but I am just saying that I want to be wholly present in what these babes are doing, learning and be there to hold their hand & adjust the process where need be. I don't want to live a completely different program awhile they're growing up. This motherhood thing-- they're growing years-- is my thing right now. And I don't mind.
That said, I find it increasingly hard to focus on myself. In some ways, I think that's beautiful. I'm glad i'm learning to be less selfish. And it's not that I don't get any time. Matt is real good about making sure I have time to myself often. Part of it is that there are multiple priorities to juggle, even when I do have my mind to myself.
But I don't want to give up. Basically at this point I need to do approximately 4 each year. So with this birthday comiing up, #29, I want to look at my goals and see what I can attack this year. For the memories, for something to strive for, for the adventure.
So stay tuned for that.
