50/50 List

My blogger friend Chelle is a really awesome person on so many levels. In the mail this week, she sent me some information on Advocare, as well as the book "The Me Project: 21 days to living the life you've always wanted" by Kathi Lipp. I was so excited to dive right in!

The first chapters encourage the reader to start dreaming big and visualizing her future. "If I knew I was going to live another 50 years, what would I want those years to look like? What would I like to say that I've done with that time?" We are supposed to begin the project with a 50/50 list - 50 dreams to accomplish in the next 50 years. Then we pick one to focus on during the 21 days of the Me Project.

Here is my 50/50 List (in no particular order):
