Tomorrow is my 38th birthday, and since we have many new readers since I last wrote a “things that make me who I am” post (you can see the other ones here and here), I figured I’d go ahead and share 38 other things about me that I’ve not shared previously. This year’s list looks a bit different from previous versions since I’ve decided to share a few weightier things than I have in my previous posts.

1. It feels weird and even a little self-serving to share things about myself. But since I love reading the “about” pages of my favorite bloggers, I thought it might be good to step out of my shell a little more than normal.

2. In 2016, I wrote my first ebook, and in doing so, completed one of my bucket list items.
