Bucket List

Most of you who follow this blog will know that I’m a big advocator of lists, and perhaps the most important list that anyone could ever put together is their very own Bucket List. For anyone not familiar with this concept, a Bucket List is basically a list of all the things you want to achieve in your life – your hopes, dreams and goals, which can range from the places you want to travel to, to who you want to invite to your 50th birthday party.

I’ve recently been thinking about my own Bucket List, and have realised that even though I’m constantly accessing and re-assessing my goals in my mind, I’ve never gotten around to writing the damn thing down!

So, in an effort to be more accountable, and perhaps inspire some of you to also do the same, here in all it’s glory is my very own Bucket List. I’m sure it will change a lot over the years to come, but it’s a great feeling just to have something written down to encourage me to reach for the things I want in my life. I’ve also included some things that I have already achieved, just to remind me that it can be done – and it will!
