Life List

You guys know that I'm goal oriented and often think about life in terms of how I'm going to accomplish items from my life list.  I've decided to give a little visibility to what I aspire to accomplish.  There is a certain vulnerability here, but what the heck! I'm not the only one.  This Mighty Girl is blogging about her path to achieve her life list.
Here's mine:
