A friend asked me how I felt about turning 30. And I responded with one word:

Blessed.

I’m blessed to have a loving, supportive family and a handful of real ones in my corner, all my fingers to draw with and write and create. More than that, many people never see 30. And sometimes witnessing another’s hardship forces you re-realize how truly blessed you are.

I am NOWHERE near where I want to be in life, but my goal is to steadily get closer without ever becoming complacent. Which means I’ll be doing a lot more this year [and every year thereafter]:

travel more

read more

show more love

more consistency and follow-through

listen more/speak less/communicate better

just doing more of what I dig, including blogging

Keeping it simple and putting it out there. I’m not really into new year’s resolutions so I’ll just call it my pledge- my long-term and short-term goals for this year and this life.

Cheers to doing more in 2015 😉
