I have a notebook I carry everywhere with me. It’s pink and gold and says “CARPE THAT DIEM” on it.
A few years ago, I started writing a bucket list in it. Full of wild things like “Have dinner with Dwayne Johnson” and “Ride in a cattle drive” and “Run the Boston Marathon” (not sure I really want to do that last one, but you never know).
And for the longest time, I never did anything with it. I wrote things into my book and never did them.
I did one or two by accident, but the most of the things I was adding were REALLY exorbitant..

But lately, I’ve been doing things that scare me. Things that make me say “I always wanted to do this”. Things that make me remember why I work so hard and why I love to do what I do and allow myself all sorts of opportunities.
So I added to my bucket list. And not-so-systematically, I’ll mark things off my list. It’s a living document, so it will grow too. I’ll keep track here.
This summer, I have plans to check off at least three…so stay tuned <3
