Top 30 Under 30

Hey Everyone!  Someone!  Anyone out there!

It’s great to be back on the blogosphere and I hope I’m now here to stay.  Over the last few months, I have been inspired to blog by my good friend Mrs Babes whose energy and consistency is amazing.  I got the idea for this post from her, and I hope that as she celebrates her success on 7th September 2012, I will be able to celebrate mine on 1st November 2012.

The accomplishment of each of these targets is going not going to be easy.  In addition to the fact that I cannot run to save my life, I have more than six degrees of separation between at least two people on this list.  That said, a little (or a lot of) ambition never killed anyone.  I don’t think I’m going to be the first.
