Getting Things Done

I like to do things.  I like to set goals and accomplish them.  So, when I made my 30 before 30 list, I became a little nervous I may not accomplish my goals.  I don't like to tell people my goals.  That way, they'll never know if I don't reach my goals.  I don't like failing.  I'm a people pleaser (shocking, I know).  Anyway, I'm pleased with my progress.  Here's a little update:
