This is NOT a bucket list, this is a life list. This list is constantly evolving, like me. It is about aspiring and growing and making things happen now, rather than later. I will be creating an ongoing narrative of my progress as I approach joining the small percentage of people who take action to achieve their dreams.
As I accomplish each of these tasks, I will write a blog post. The completed ones are linked below.
