I'm doing 30 things
I’m waiting for the instructor’s approval to take a Breathing for Life class starting next week. The class focuses on meditative breathing. I thought it would be a good way for me to work my way back into yoga and maybe the instructor will know of a good prenatal class. I took an actual yoga course with him in college about 5 years ago and really enjoyed it. I think it will help me find some relaxing breathing practices for while I’m in labor as well.

How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I can finally confidently consider this goal complete. After years of frustration and several mishaps that led to food in the garbage, something has clicked and I can do it. I was cooking at least 3 days a week for about 6 months before I got pregnant. Now the smells really bother me and I just really do not feel like it so I haven't been doing much in the past few months. Most of the basics I have covered, and I can thr… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I have completed this goal a few times since making it originally. I never did get a prenatal massage with my first born, but I plan to with this pregnancy (currently 17 weeks) maybe in a month or so when I really need it.My first massage was a Mother's Day gift from my then boyfriend (now husband). It was a full hour simple massage and it was very relaxing. I always find myself so relaxed I'm trying not to dro… Read how I did it…

complete
How I did it: I married a friend of 10 years. We never dated previously because we were always with other people. After losing touch for a couple years, he contacted me via MySpace out of the blue on a perfect day nearly 3 years ago. We went out a couple days later and have been together ever since.He wanted to get married right away, but I had not long ago gotten out of a toxic relationship with my son's father and was in no rush.

I am changing this goal from contact friends more often to make new friends. As I have gotten older and as I am having more children, I’ve grown apart from my old friends. Most of them are still stuck in their old ways of partying, even if they have children, and I have grown out of it. I need more mature friends with their shit at least somewhat together.
Making new friends in your 20s is incredibly difficult though. I’m a quiet person to begin with and I don’t know where to start!
I am changing this goal from obtain my bachelor’s degree to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life. Whether or not that includes a higher degree does not matter to me anymore.
