100 things to do..

Thanks to Maggie at MightyGirl. com.. I have this fantastic list...It's sometimes called a bucket list (as in before you kick the bucket) or just simply a list of 100 things you'd like to do before you go. Here's mine.

I hope it inspires you to write one of your own. Sometimes, the funny thing is once you write it down, the pieces can fall into place and a little hand from the universe pushes you along to striking off the things off your list. And share the list.. you never know who might help you scratch an item off.

Funny thing about mine.. alot of them are travel goals.
