It's the possibilities that make life worthwhile - and our own gusto that makes those possibilities turn into realities!


Here's to your fabulous realities!

Hi, Staci!

Love this list so much -- hope you don't mind if I confiscate it for my blog. (Though it's bound to shine a light on my 'life experience shortcomings'.)

Ah, well -- something(s) to shoot for!

For sure, it was fun highlighting my experiences! And, of course, those stories came flooding back and I couldn't help but smile! :D

But, it also got me thinking about the things I want to do, have yet to do...those goals in my life I have yet to live.

I truly enjoyed thinking about both!

Hi Alexandra!

I wonder what MY checklist would look like? I am really glad I found this list, and it was fun to see where I've been and think about those stories; but I also enjoyed thinking about the possibilities!

If my possibilities are not on that list...what do I think they are and will I be able to highlight them one day? ;)

I'm such a sucker for the possibilities in life...
