53 Things.
For a few years in a row now I have tried to do a special birthday post. It’s usually a list of things that I have learned or a combination of things I already know/believe and things I’ve learned along the way. Also, things I’ve accomplished or places I’ve visited.
So may I introduce to you my 53 things blog post. Happy birthday to me.
Apparently, I skipped last year, so here’s a link to 51 things.
