Hi friends,
So my first month
of 30x30 is nearing its end. While I haven't been able to fully cross anything
off my list, I am feeling really good about how things are going so far!
Best of all is
that I am SO much more aware of how I spend my time. And how quickly it can go
by. I can't believe that a month has already flown by! I definitely feel like
my days are more full. Even if my plans are to come home and knit, or get up an
hour early to run, I feel like I'm doing more with the time that I have.
Where do I want to
step it up? I need to get back into the running routine. I had my doctor tell
me to scale back and my lazy-brain heard "stop" and I did.
Also, the cards
and letters. I need to be aware of these ones and plan into my days and weeks
time to make and send them. I didn't send out two birthday cards in September but
my plan is that as these happened before the start of the project, I will get
them next year. Lame? Maybe, but I'm okay with it. Keeping the goals of the
project in mind when I make that decision.
Regarding the
photos - I am printing them this weekend. Saying that (writing that?) has made
me realize that I need to start taking photos that I will want to print. I take
a LOT of photos, but not many that I necessarily want to keep. So I need to
start doing more of that. I want the photo thing to evolve into me taking
photos or more meaningful things - people I care about and the times that we
spend together. Not just 20 random photos from the month. At the rate that I'm
going though there are going to be a lot of pictures of babies with diapers on
their heads (they think it is a funny hat...I have to agree).
As for the quit my
job one, there is a plan in place for that. I interviewed yesterday for an
internship so we will see if that works out. If not, there is still great stuff
happening. First, the woman I interviewed with was really impressed with my
resume, so that is so encouraging. I'm also continuing to work to build it. I
have successfully started a book club with other publishing students and we are
going to meet near the end of October for the first time. Then I am getting
involved with a friend's charitable endeavor (which isn't public yet so I can't
talk about it...). I've contacted my favourite publishing house and they are
sending me advanced readers copies of up coming and new releases so that I can
review them for my blog. I'm also going to expand my work with stellaa.org and
do more blogging and outreach to authors for them. I'm trying to get involved
in any and all ways that I can and not only build my resume, but get real experience that will
make me more marketable.
Next month is
Vegtober! I'm excited to get started on the vegan experiment, though I am going
to miss cheese so much! But if October flies by the same way that September
did, I won't have a problem! As part of my goodbye-to-cheese, I got Danforth
Pizza House the other night. It was INSANE and cheese and soooooo good. But so
cheesy that I don't think that I could eat it again for a month again
regardless, haha.
Okay! That's it
for now xo
