I love lists. I’ve even been known to keep a notebook dedicated to list-making. But the most important list of all is my bucket list. On this page, you will find the things that I want to accomplish before I turn 40. So I still have about eleven years left. On this blog, I write about achieving dreams and completing bucket list items. I tell you about my goals and how I achieved them in case you have the same goal. But most importantly, I hope that you will make a list of what you want for your life and set out to accomplish it too. While I might add items over time, I won’t ever take items away.
