The Power to Change Us

Will grinned. "Some of these books are dangerous," he said. "It's wise to be careful."

"One must always be careful of books," said Tessa, "and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us."

Thirty Word Description

My birthday was August 28th, and I am officially a "thirty-something". I celebrated with homemade apple crisp for breakfast. The rest of the day was just as laid-back.

I am excited to embark on my thirties. When I turned 25, I was not happy with where I was in my life. I think my thirties will be fun. I am starting a new life, and I not going to let past fears hold me back.

In honor of my 30th birthday, here are thirty words that describe me:

believer. bohemian. bookworm. creative. compassionate. dedicated. dreamer. entrepreneur. frugal. geeky. independent. indirect. introvert. loyal. dry humor. discreet. musical. subtle. natural. gardener. observant. passive. philosophical. quiet. sensitive. silly. sincere. thrifty. thoughtful. writer.

My list was inspired by celebrating thirty-five written by Vanessa of Colour Knits. I also like Bonzai Aphrodite's post 30 [little] Things I Love At Age 30.
