I have been thinking about this for awhile now and figured why not start my own list of things I want to accomplish in my lifetime. Some of these things might have already been accomplished and if they have then I will strike through them. This will be a work in progress since I will be adding to the list as I think of more. Who knows how many things I will have on this list by the time I get done.
As I accomplish each new thing on the list and strike through it, I will write about it and what I learned through the experience. How I felt and how the experience or adventure helped make me a better person or shape me more into the person I am striving to be. One who is more confident, more self assured and knows she can accomplish anything she sets her mind to doing. I feel I am already some of each of those things but can always learn more about myself.
