Keeping goals modest. Although I am outwardly medium-sized I have just been informed that my internal organs are swaddled in fat...the ole viscera needs a little paring-down. Seems doable! Also trying to be more gracious and open-minded with other people. We'll see how far I get.
First, let me echo Rocco’s sentiments and wish the 2 of you a nice, easy 2024!
1993 Kevin wouldn’t put together a list anywhere near that coherent/cohesive. It would’ve said something like “go to more shows.”
For NYE, I watched a Bond movie with Gizmo and was in bed by, I think 8:30? Fast livin’ for sure. My goal/mantra/whatever for this year is “just book the trip.” Day trips, big trips, whatever.
I'm so jealous that you have your goals from 21-year-old you! I wish I still had a similar document (crayon and all) from my past. That's why I always save my journals now.
Damn! I'm impressed by the 21-year-old you (and how you still have things from back then and can find them). But more, I'm impressed at the 4-tier marriage plan you and Bryan actively work toward. I can't help but compare it to my 0-tier plan. Or 1-tier: flail wildly and see what sticks. I like how organized and intentional your two are! Inspiring.
full disclosure i have not read the entire email but wow do i love what you did there ~~ the time travel, the self love, the kind + elegant update. so smart + great. thank you for sharing.
This is so incredible and I bet it was so affirming both of the progress yu have made in 30 years plus the sense that our newly minted, independent adults might have a better sense broadly of who they are and who they want to be. And while the details might not end up exactly as they currently are planning, years from now they can look back and see the tread of that lifetime passion woven through it all. Good stuff v
That was a great guest post and, as usual, this one is a great read. Wishing you, Bryan and your family a great and much calmer/easier 2024 ❤️
Inspiring and revealing read!

I love that you saved your life goals from 1993.
Where was that pic taken? Gorgeous view. Family home or Airbnb?
My goal/intention/resolution/whatever is to finish my novel. Other than that it’s the usual personal growth and development stuff.
Lovely post.
