My "Before I Die …" List

On June 11th, I turned 25. That’s half way to 50. That’s a quarter of the way to 100.

[Even as a baby, I had that cheesy grin - big smiles for everyone!]

I don’t know about you, but every birthday makes me think about what I have (and haven’t) done. Thanks to my “notable” birthday, I was inspired to write a “Before I Die … ” list.

Sound sad? Not at all! The idea is simple: a list of things you want to do before you die (the name implies that, huh?). I find the experience of being a human and exploring all the world has to offer as immensely exciting. Unsurprisingly, my list is consistently growing & quite varied – full of things to do, try, learn, and places to visit.

My current “Before I Die … ” list includes:

+ Jog a 5K

+ Publish a non-fiction book

+ Try archery

+ Try ceramics

+ Visit Sweden with my mom

+ Knit a sweater

+ Try rock climbing

+ Become a certified yoga teacher OR personal trainer

+ Try Pilates

+ Live in Europe for at least 1 year

+ Be debt-free

+ Visit Italy with Logan (my husband)

+ Teach a class

+ Study Ayurveda

+ Study Buddhism

+ Try flower arranging

+ Try crochet

+ Try canoeing

+ Write a memoir

+ Study massage

As the list changes (via additions and accomplishments), I’ll be updating the blog with pictures and stories of my adventures. Variety is the spice of life – and I love how it tastes!
