The more my creativity gets me, the more ideas that seem to swirl around in my head, the more time I spend dreaming, makes me need to write all the ideas down. Life is like that…a dream, an action, a talent, an idea, a passion, a friend who inspires, a child’s imagination & the stories they tell, a song that sings to your soul, a trip of a lifetime that makes you yearn for more…Life is like that…a mix of a thousand beautiful things.

So, today, after a whirlwind of creating within my mind—I figured I would put a few more personal ideas together that will make my life a little more directed, a bunch of possibilities that will have a place to fly within my mind & bring a little peace to my heart.  

So, today is to PERSONAL BUCKET LISTS:  those ideas, thoughts, dreams, hopes, pursuits that will guide you, that will inspire you from one to another…
