My Life “To-Do” Bucket List
my very first hike – Runyon Canyon in Los Angeles
Inspired by a post from my good friend Jenny Ingram, I have FINALLY started a life “to-do” list. I have been wanting to put these life goals together for a very long time but kept putting it off. And putting it off.

Truth is, I have experienced so many wonderful things in my adult life that I never thought I would. From creating a business from nothing to seeing the world, my life has been a very, very fortunate one. I do feel, however, that I am not quite done.

This list is just a start. I know that I will be adding more goals as time goes by, but for now, here are a few experiences I hope to enjoy before I leave this Earth. Some silly, some important, but all awesome. Here we go…

Great list! And I think our travel aspirations are quite similar! I’d love to drive across Canada – East and West of where I live. North too!
Thank you! Have you created a list?
Not officially, but I really should!
I think we should observe a whale in its natural habitat TOGETHER. Maybe we could find owl-shaped goggles to wear…
P.S. I love your list!!! And you!
It would be amazing if we could do that! Maybe take an Alaskan cruise together to see the whales? You see, I could knock out two…
I love YOU!
I love this Amy.
I don’t have a life list. I have a year long list of things I want to accomplish throughout the year. It’s not going very well, although I am halfway through it :). http://www.tonyastaab.com/bucket-list.html
Now that is an awesome idea! Off to read. 🙂
Great list Amy! I have done a bunch of those but I want to do Alaska, Sky Dive, see Antartica (before it melts) and have my own show. Dream big baby!
Your own show, awesome! You’d be great. 🙂
You had me cracking up at The Lord of the Rings tour. My husband actually went to the UK in March to visit Citadel Games, aka the maker of Warhammer 40K….
Hey, I’m a nerd, I’ll be the first to admit it. 🙂

Awesome blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but
I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting
with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out
there that I’m completely confused .. Any suggestions?
Cheers!
