33 for 33

I am a big fan of setting goals (it has a lot to do with my enjoyment and pride over crossing items off my to-do list).  For my 33rd year, I am setting 33 goals to challenge myself in all aspects of my life.  I believe in continuing to learn and grow as I get older, and part of that is challenging myself to try new things and improve upon things I am already doing.

Here are my goals for my 33rd year:
