30 before 30

1. Create this list.  (This totally counts, right?)
2. Pray the Divine Office every day for a month (or at least morning and evening pray). - I think Lent would be a wonderful time to try and do this, so I'll give it a go then.
3. Go on a silent retreat.
4. Attend a Papal Mass - achieved 31st July 2016 as part of the below.
5. Attend (another) World Youth Day. - Kraków 2016! Blog posts can be seen here: here, Part 1, Part 2

 

6. Attempt couch to 5k - I think I can cross this one off.  I did attempt it, and completed the first week, but my knees don't like it.  I might give it another go one day, but for now I think it may have to be it.
7. Visit Auchswitz - I'm hoping to return to Poland in the next year or so to actually do some sightseeing in Łódź and Kraków, and a visit here will definitely be involved in this.
8. Go on a road trip
9. Spend New Years in Times Square a foreign country
10. Pilgrimage to Rome - I've visited Rome a few times, but always just as a tourist.  I think going mainly for the religious side of it would be wonderful. - June 2017

11. Read 100 new books - I think I should start a new page and keep track of what I've read to see if I can succeed with this! And now I need to try and remember what I've read since I wrote this...
12. Sell something I've made - Done Christmas 2014. I sold two pairs of fingerless mittens.

Right, now for some new ones...

13. Visit Assisi.
14. Get my honours degree
15. Go to Disney (World, land, Paris, I don't care, I just want to be a princess!) I've been to Disneyland Paris twice in the past year. Hooray for being a princess!
16. Find a job I actually want to do/have - Whilst the job I'm in is not a forever job, and has plenty of struggles, it is definitely where I'm currently supposed to be.
17. Figure out my vocation (as if it's going to be that easy...) - I'm going to cross this off, not becuase I've 'figured it out' but because over the last year or so I've had a lot of discussions with God on this subject, and have come to a place of peace with waiting until it becomes totally clear.
18. Read every book CS Lewis has written Just looked at his bibliography.  Yeah... That's not happening.  Editing it to: Reading all of his signature classics.
19. Walk the Camino (or at least the last section)
20. Go to work with an Ash Wednesday cross on my forehead.Done this year. I kept getting odd looks and forgetting why...
21. Make enough items of clothing for myself to be able to wear a different outfit every day for a week.
21. Make a full costume for myself and attend MCM comic con wearing it. (Currently thinking either Ariel or Anna)
22. Dye my hair proper full on Ariel pillar box red. done in the summer of 2015! Although I had purple ends. I've gone a slightly less bright colour now, but have kept the ends as I quite like it!

23. Figure out my diet/what makes me ill - whilst this is certainly not perfect, it's definitely a lot more under control!
24. Attend Goodwood Revival
25. Do a short course at London College of Fashion - I'm thinking Millinary
26. Dance on stage at Wembley Arena (for the second time) - doing on the 7th March at Flame 2 (previous time was at Flame), although I cannot divulge any more until then as I have been sworn to secrecy! Done!


27. Sing during Mass at Jasna Góra I don't even care if it's cheating to add in something you've already done. If I had known this was something there'd be any chance of me doing, it would have been up here! I was blessed enough to have the chance to sing the psalm for our Mass here on 25th July when we spent a day here on our journey between Łódź and Kraków. Blog posts here
