I didn't get to jump off a cliff into water and I'm only halfway done the interview with my mom. For number 25 (write a book with my mom and sisters about my dad), I didn't technically say that we had to finish the book, and I have been working on it! For the most part, I think I did a pretty freaking good job.
It feels amazing to have done things over the past 18 months that I had been wanting to do and always saying I would try. I saw new places, tried new recipes, read new books and made new habits. I realized how much people enjoy receiving letters and how easy it is perform random acts of kindness. I learned how to knit and finish a scarf (just a few days after the last snow of the season) and got an amazing tattoo.
Along the way a lot of people asked if I would make another list. And if I did, what would it be and what would I change. I have decided I will most definitely be making another list! These really aren't rules, but considerations I will keep in mind when writing my new list.
Things to Consider When Making My (next) List:
- Make realistic goals - Writing an entire book in 18 months may not have been realistic, but working on a book was.
- Give yourself leeway - Jump off a cliff into water was pretty specific. Do something that scares you or gives you an adrenaline rush covers the same premise with a little more leniency.
- Start planning the big things earlier - Scheduling some time aside to take a trip or do something that requires more time/traveling will help keep me more on track to not leave things to the last minute!

This is where you guys come in to help me!!! My creative juices need to be refilled.
I've decided to give myself two years for the next list, 27-before-27 here I come.
I need your help adding things onto my new list! Even if you haven't before, leave me a comment with a suggestion to add to it! You'll see if your idea makes the cut when I share my list in a couple of weeks!
Thanks in advance :)
