It was like others who turn 40 or 50. 33 is actually a spiritual symbol which means "truth". When I learned this, I understood why I hated the number 33. You know the saying, "the truth hurts", right? Being able to be honest with myself to myself and others was hard for me. A lot of lessons to learn. Being authentic instead of hiding who I really am has been a journey that I was afraid to go through. I'm 43 now and am still going through the journey but the truth doesn't hurt as much anymore. So, my list is to be: 1. More authentic 2. In service to others 3. More productive (same as yours - blogging more and better and also more creatively) Turning 33 for me was very difficult.

Enjoyed your comment. Thanks! :-) My must see's in Sydney/Melbourne will probably be quite long. But, it will depend on how much time you have in each place. Anyway, I wrote some Melbourne reviews some time ago at IgoUgo (see <a href="http://www.igougo.com/travelcontent/Journal.aspx?JournalID=23053">Melbourne Journals</a>) Sydney shortform (first two is just within the city - 1) Harbour Bridge / Opera House (a boat ride from Darling Harbour is great) 2) The Rocks and/or the Olympic Village 3) Blue Mountains, just out of Sydney Robin: Love your list.

When I can make exercise an integral part of my life (riding to work, taking my 2 y.o. for a walk etc) I tend to feel much better about things, and consequently end up far more productive.

I've yet to come up with action plans to achieve these goals but hopefully I will get around to it. You know the first thing I did this morning? Cleaned out our fridge and threw all the expired stuff out! Haha -- part of my cleansing ritual. Good luck to us! Hi Shai — come to think of it, your top 3 things are mine as well.

One tip I can give you is to incorporate as much activity into your daily life as possible. I'm sure with children around this isn't hard! :) oh, and my roomba definitely = less housework for me. Especially if you have pets! good luck on your goals! AMY Shai,
