Today is the first day of October. This also means that today is the first day of my birthday week. Typically, I am all sorts of excited for birthday week. I sometimes buy myself something new, often have birthday plans with my husband (yay, date night!), and usually get together with a few close friends. I have even been known to plan a little birthday costume party.
This year is different.
I find myself taken aback that I am entering the last year of my twenties. I see myself staring 30 right in the face, and I'm not ready. In fact, I'm scared. What do I have to show so far for my 29 years? Where did I think I would be at 30? What do I still want to accomplish? To see and do? What will I do with this next year to prepare myself for the next 30?
So, I am accepting the challenge. I plan to look inside of myself, maybe do a little soul searching, and figure out what this next year of my life will look like. And, I'm going to use this new month, and this challenge, to do so.
I hope you'll join me on this journey. And hey, maybe by the end of the month I will decide that 30 IS the new 20!

Love your topic! Love it! I turn 30 on November 11, and back in July, I started drafting my 31 Days posts... my original topic was 31 Days Until I Turn 30! Ha! But then I just thought I'd feel lots of pressure to do lots of things in those 31 days. :) Happy birthday week to you! I'm excited to read your posts!
I am all about 30 being the new 20...since I'll be 30 in just a few weeks!
Can't wait to see all you post this next month. :)

Hey lady! I stumbled across your blog through Melissa Manzione. I love the blogging community! Anyways, adore your blog!!! Live up your last year of a twenty-something. My hubby turns thirty this year, and I keep telling him, age is just a number. It doesn't define you or change anything. In fact, I think your thirties are some of the best years of your life. :) xoxo
As someone who is on the other side of 30 (i'm 35) embrace it!!! the 30s have been the best years of my life so far!
