25 Things To Accomplish While I’m 25

Many die at 25 and aren’t buried until they are 75.

- Benjamin Franklin

No offense, Mr. Franklin, but I’m not going down like that!

Somehow turning 25 has become associated with senior citizen status, that when we turned 25, our fun and excitement quota expired. It’s no argument that 25 is a milestone; it’s a big deal… right? Everyday we hear about young celebrities and athletes living life the the fullest; for them, fun NEVER stops. But then in the real world, we know that we ride the struggle bus DAILY just to get by. No offense to all you hard workers out there (because I’m right there with you), I’ll have what the Kardashians are having! I don’t feel old, nor do I think I had my last taste of fun last week. Hence my inspiration for blogging about this year and deciding to share this (rather personal) journey with you all.

For those that know me well, you know that I prefer to keep my business to myself. For those that know me REALLY well, you know that everything I do has a theme. So of course, my journey through the next 365 days will revolve around the 25 things I would like to accomplish while I’m 25. I hope that I am able to inspire at least one of you to accomplish a milestone in your own life, just as I plan to bring the noise this year.

Before I get to my list, I’ll leave you with a quote from The Bucket List, with a motto that is close to my heart:

I believe you measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you.

I welcome your comments and stories as we take this journey of my 25th year together! Happy reading!

Love, Peace, and Gumbo,

Ashley
