Lately I have become more and more aware of my actions. For many years I thought life was what you woke up to. I couldn't have been more wrong. Life is truly what you make it. Just think about it. Are you satisfied with all you have? Have you tried to make a difference? God has a plan for my life but I cannot follow his path if I am not listening or working as hard as I can.

About a year ago I started a list (my favorite) of things that I wanted to do before I turned 30. Some of these things may seem silly while some may be a stretch. Some I have completed while others may take years. I also know that throughout life experiences this list may change but these are some of my hearts desires. I want to travel. I want to help others. I want to grow as a person. Every morning when I wake up what am I doing with my day? The best part about having a blog is I get to document each step. I pray that I bless you with this blog, my portfolio and my spirit. What are you doing to live life to the fullest? Let the list love begin!
