30 Goals

-
The list you've been waiting for! My list of 30 Goals before I turn 30! Granted, some of these may change or vary slightly based on how accessible things are. But generally, things I will be aiming to accomplish by the big 3-0. 

 1. Attend a hot yoga class
     -I'm weird and actually like sweating

 2. Travel to 5 new states

 3. Be able to (consistently) make latte art
     -Obviously I'm going to take pictures and instagram this when it starts happening

 4. Actually use Adobe programs for artwork 
      -Again, consistently

 5. Bake something fancy
     -because I've been inspired by The Great British Baking Show! And it would be fun to bake more.

 6. Go to a music festival

 7. Illustrate a book
      -like actually finish illustrating a whole book

 8. Travel camp across the U.S. hitting up National Parks
      -probably going to be pretty difficult to accomplish based on full time job schedules, but we can at least try!

 9. Have a home studio art gallery showing
      -aka come over to our lovely home, drink some wine, enjoy some hors d'oeuvres, and look at all my "high class" fancy artwork/new collection. Haha!

 10. Make a small garden or participate in a community garden
       -because we all know about my "green" thumb

 11. Take a martial arts class
       -I've taken one before, but want to give it another shot. Or at least just get some time at hitting a punching bag. I've heard it's a good stress reliever.

 12. Consistently volunteer somewhere, or multiple places for that matter!

 13. Meditate
       -I've learned different techniques, now to put them into action!

 14. Finish reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in Italian

 15. Learn the art of cocktail making
       -Or just act like one and make a few fun cocktails in the meantime...

 16. Read classics I haven't read yet... any ideas?

 17. Take another theatre class or try to be involved/volunteer at a local theatre

 18. Make a workout regimen and stick to it (at least for a period of time)

 19. Go skinny dipping
       -Got to live a little!

 20. Go to the Canadian side of the Niagara Falls

 21. Learn to snowboard,

 22. Scuba Dive,
        -Not sure how or when I might accomplish this

 23. Sail,

 24. Shoot: bow and arrow/gun/crossbow,
        -Whatever may be available. Preferably a bow and arrow. And then pretend to be Katniss, or Legolas, or Merida...

 24. A dance,

 25. Play guitar
        -Giving this music thing another shot

 26. Swordplay
        -Becuase it's in every epic tale!

 27. Go on a local winery or distillery tour
        -Have done this one too, but what's a few more tours...?

 28. Visit at least 5 more coffee shops on my coffee shop list

 29. Do 30 days of something
        -To keep in theme with the 30 list and inspired by the Whole30 that's come up recently.  Could be anything, so who knows!

 30.  Keep a blog about this list and write about my experiences!
        -May be a cop out goal, but a goal nonetheless!

I had this great new idea today!  What if I painted/drew my own Christmas cards?!  I may just be adding to my pile of work, but I think I want to give it a shot.  So in the spirit of the 12 days of Christmas, I will paint 12 Christmas cards! Again, this will be first come, first serve!

"Why I'm Dysfunctional Today"

Things I've learned about being in the "real world" so far/or what I have experienced while still living with my parents:    Since I now schedule my own work time...                I like to get projects done one at a time before moving onto another one,         which then results in me undertaking this huge project, and working on that-which is usually not that important-not getting anything else done all day, and then wearing myself out because I feel like I didn't do anything (since I haven't finished the project).          That being said, I think all projects I have will take 1-3 days tops.  Not even close.         So then I tried to move on to scheduling my days about hour by hour, or 2-3 hours at a time.  This result?  Spending way too much free time on the computer and talking to friends, or not accounting for travel and eating time....

Some of you may know already, but for the past 11-12 weeks, I have been reading "The Artist's Way-Walking in This World" by Julia Cameron.  And I have already learned a great deal about myself, my art self, and fueling my creativity.   So for this post, I am extending on one of the "tasks," as well as sharing a tidbit of what I read.  "As artist's, we routinely tap an inner well, and the well is fed by our spiritual condition.  When we have kept our spirit carefully nurtured, the creative water seems to flow easily.  When our spirit is dried out with unacknowledged discouragement, our inner well runs dry."  "As artists, we don't want to be petty, but the truth is, we need  to be.  If we try to 'let go of' a creative slight, we very often simply bury it.  There, tucked neatly into our subconscious, it can do its slow and poisonous work.  Too embarrassed to repeat the 'tiny' comment to a friend on the way out the door fr...
