Welcome to Bay Awesome & thank you for giving me a reason to write.

I was inspired to start Bay Awesome after a special project I worked on in 2014. Along with several of my friends,  I turned 30 that year, and was quite amazed about how many of them were freaking out about THIRTY. I kept hearing a lot of talk about the dreaded transition from your youthful and carefree 20’s to your more adult life at 30. But I on the other hand, thought turning 30 was awesome abiophoto-aboutnd decided to do a project to prove it. I dubbed 2014 as the #YearOfAwesomeness and created a list of 30 to-do’s that I had to complete throughout the year to make it AWESOME.

Each  ‘to-do’ item helped me grow up (not old), and was also a way to bring a  little joy to my friends as I included them in the tasks and also blogged about every single adventure. It was an amazing experience- I traveled, challenged myself daily, completed tasks I never thought I would ever do and learned a thing or two along the way. The most incredible part of it all- the hundreds of messages I received from others telling me they could relate to my posts and it made them happier or inspired them to even start their very own list!   With such amazing feedback, I wanted to continue to write and share, so here I am today. Bay Awesome is a blog that will feature posts about everything AWESOME. I write about my daily musings, favourite things, things that make you go hmmmmm, trips, career, exercise, relationships- you know, all the stuff that makes us who we are.
