“10 days away from what?” you ask.
10 days away from my birthday! Now, that’s not traditionally blog-worthy, but this year is different. This year is my 30th and I’ve decided to mark this new age by committing to a year of challenges.
This is a genius idea but I can’t claim it as my own. My best friend, Vicki, did the same thing (different challenges) for her birthday and I was so inspired that I started compiling my own list of 30 challenges that I would like to complete during my 30th year.
So, not only is it 10 days away from my 30th birthday, it’s also 10 days away from an exciting year of challenges and adventures!
Alana's 30 for 30 
This is going to be a challenging and inspiring undertaking. I can’t wait to watch, support and encourage you.

Alana that is a GREAT away to ring in your 30th year. I for one, ahem, cannot believe you are 30. It was just a couple of years ago you were stealing uncle William’s and Grandma’s cigs and negotiating for candy. You are a remarkable woman. And I love you.

I love you too! I can’t believe it either, I also can’t believe I have a 19 year old cousin!! Haha, I would like to clarify that I was stealing the cigarets in a misguided attempt to convince Grandma and William to stop smoking, not for personal use 🙂

Oh no you can’t possibly be 30…..that makes me….oh dear….anyway it’s not about me but about YOU dear girl undertaking this challenge. Off you go with the wind at your back. Much love and fond memories of you as a very young sweet schoolgirl and neighbour and tea drinking buddy in Camberley. All the best Alana now and in your future endeavours.

Thank you so much Megan! I can’t believe I’m about to be 30 either, but somehow it’s true. I loved drinking tea with you, I still have the cup that you gave me 🙂
