No. 4 Read 30 books

Clearly I’ve already read 30 books in my lifetime, but I wanted to be a little more intentional about reading books. Books 📚 1) Unapologetic: A Black, Queer, and Feminist Mandate for Radical Movements (Charlene Carruthers) finished on July 12 2020 2) How to be an antiracist (Ibram X. Kendi) finished on August 10 2020Continue reading “No. 4 Read 30 books”

No. 16 Learn something (that isn’t for work)

RE 175- Real Estate Financing Saddleback Community College Feb- April 2021 Might not have been the most flashy “learn something” I could have done, but a short while after I turn 30 I’m hoping that purchasing a home is in my near future and I’ve been recently more aware of how little I actually knowContinue reading “No. 16 Learn something (that isn’t for work)”

No. 3 See the view from the top of a mountain

July 31 2018 Haleakalā, HI This one definitely evolved… I do not know what kind of imagination I had seeing myself “climbing” a mountain. So I adapted to “See the views from the top of a mountain”. Much more reasonable. I picked Haleakala on Hawaii, which is technically a volcano. And just so I don’tContinue reading “No. 3 See the view from the top of a mountain”

No 18. See Zac Brown Band Live

October 28 2017 Hollywood Bowl There were a lot of Country Music concerts attended right when I moved to Huntington Beach, but one group I knew Country Coastal Jam wouldn’t bring was Zac Brown Band. Luckily good friends always seem to make pull through! Ashley made the trek to the HollyWood Bowl with me andContinue reading “No 18. See Zac Brown Band Live”
