Mighty Life List

I’m a list person.  I love them.  Any good type-A personality does.  But this isn’t your average “life list.”  I don’t approach this list like the type-A control freak that I am.  This is very simply a list of things I would love to experience.  It’s ever-changing, ever-evolving because I am ever-changing.  Sometimes, your dreams change.  This list is just about ensuring that I always remember how important it is to dream.
