MIghty Life

My friend, Bonny, was recently talking about finding her dreams again, creating a Mighty Life List. Yeah, it is kind of like a bucket list; you can read about it on Mighty Girl.

It got me thinking about what I might put on my list of dreams.

In this life, I'd like to...

...watch a sunset from the Shoodic Peninsula in Maine.

...learn to spin yarn.

...hold my grandchild.

...enter a photography contest.

...dip my toes in the Mediterranean.

...own another business.

...learn to drive a motorcycle.

...dance with my husband.

...attend a live music event every week for a summer.

...shop only at independently owned businesses for an entire year...or six.

...make soap.

...make cheese.

...wave sparklers with my children.

...gather enough confidence to actually carry on a full conversation in Spanish.

...attend the wedding of a stranger.

...give a child at a lemonade stand $50 and tell the child to keep the change.
