Bucket-List
I read some statistic many years ago that you are like a thousand times more likely to accomplish a goal if you write it down. So, I’ve been keeping a bucket-list and decided to publish it to not only hold myself accountable, but to also allow people to help me out. I know a few of these things won’t be easy on my own! Some have been removed because involve specific people and I’d like it to be a surprise for them when I finally accomplish it. Starred items are things I’ve done that I never expected to and ought to belong on a bucket list!
