Life List

I saw this great posting and was inspired to come up with as many goals/aspirations I would like to accomplish. This will be an ever-changing (adding/subtracting/crossing out when done) list, but I would like to see if I can come up with more than a handful of amazing things to do in my lifetime, because I am only limited by my imagination. The rest is fate, will, and determination (with a smidge of luck and wisdom). I welcome you to comment on my list, or tell me your own. (PS – I reserve the right to delete your comments if I feel they hinder my attempt at what I’m trying to do here. just so you know.)

  1. Have a full line of ‘Benchmark’ cards, and always enough cards made to sell them at any time. (Which means at LEAST 20 of each card at all times!)
  2. Have a beautiful, artistic, spiritual, “So much myself” website (and learn how to manage it) so I can always be in connection with all of you… help stretch my creativity and spirituality.

  3. Be the subject of an artistic, beautiful.. sexy nude photo shoot (NOT lude or crude) and have my favorite shot framed on one of my walls…
  4. Learn how to knit.
  5. Jump from a really high distance into the water.
  6. Buy my own house, and do a KICKASS job landscaping.. so people would come by and want to take pictures.
  7. Go shopping for something and not have to think TWICE about how this is going to affect my account balance, because I will have MORE than enough money.
  8. Meet Sylvia Browne and end up being friends.
  9. Visit the places where my grandfather would have gone to, In Italy.
  10. Become fluent in Italian.
  11. Become fluent in Sign Language.
  12. Live in New York City.
  13. Lose enough weight to buy a dress/shirt/skirt/anything from Anthropologie
  14. Buy a custom made sofa (5 way Hand tied springs, Custom Fabric, Trims, oak frame, etc..)
  15. Have ’stolen reading’ party in Bookstores (meet a group of friends at a bookstore and just sit in the aisles and read, drink coffee, and talk about life and the subjects in the books we’re reading/take great pictures of us)
  16. Buy my first car.. (I really wanted a VW Passat  - But my first car is a VW Jetta V6 RED MANUAL and I LOVE her!!!! Had her since Oct 1, 2005!)

  17. Meet and fall in love with someone who is ‘one of the searchers’  (Ok so Peter isn’t necessarily a  ‘Searcher’ … my friends/wonderful artist/bloggers are my  “Searchers” that I am constantly inspired by)
  18. Publish my High/Lows (the good ones anyway)
  19. Find (I found him 8/20/05!!!) and reconnect w/ Joey Fratesi (my Jr. High/High School crush) and see what the heck he’s done with his life.

  20. Run a 1/2 marathon.
  21. One day.. when I get older.. get together all my good girlfriends that have been in and out of my life (Denise Degroat, Terri Shenlinger, Becky Krollman, Laurie Moore, Lisa Bertomeu, Terry Vergos, Phyllis Pfeiffer, Kyra Dosch-Klemer, Natasha Schaefer, Heather Bury, Kriss Knestaut, Lisa Scott, Kristen Allen, Michelle Beach, Liz Teston, Tina McNeeley, Davina Foster, Kristine Templin, Roxanne Averill, Nicole Heinze, Naomi Johnson and my sister. (That’s just who came to mind in this moment) and meet… What would we do? I don’t know… Commune in the fact that our lives have crossed paths.. and what we have learned from each other.
  22. Go to a meditation retreat.. where for 2-3 days.. no one speaks.. and we spend a great bit of time in meditation.
  23. I desire to “bump into” a female celebrity (in a bookstore would be nice) and find out that she too, is one of “The Searchers” too, and ask her what she did to help her thru the tough times.
  24. Get into the nightlife scene more. (Indie movies, art openings, wine tastings, book signings, lectures, theater, etc.)
  25. Do a monologue in front of a large crowd.
  26. Learn how to do a cartwheel.
  27. Fly first class somewhere.
  28. Make a few pieces of clothing, suited for funky big girls.. (like me) and maybe show the clothing industry that we yearn to wear the same things as the little girls. and DON’T LEAVE US OUT!!!!
  29. Buy a 1000 thread count set of sheets.
