Count Down to June 11th, 2011

As of my 39th birthday on June 11, 2011, I will begin my mission to accomplish the "Pinnacle" of Life’s Goals for myself before I turn 40 on June 11, 2012.

Why 40?

The first part of my life has been about finding out who I am and discovering my passion.  Now that I have found these things, the next phase of my life should be about fulfilling what I know will bring me joy in my life. 

I want to be able to experience all the things that I’ve saved up for another day - and start making them happen today.  And also to show people that the impossible is possible – even for a stay at home mother like myself.  And I think 40 is a great age to pin-point for me.

I do encourage my readers to post their own adventures and life's goals here as well to share and to motivate others. This blog is about living life to the highest degree - to aspire to what the world deems "impossible" or even a bit crazy. But that's the kind of opportunity I love - to prove that the impossible is only what we deem it to be.

So I hope you will join me on this journey for the next year to see what I can accomplish and to see what you can accomplish as well. 

I will be posting videos of the experiences as well as including other videos that people  want to share, who have accomplished their own goals.

So how many do I want to fulfill?

How about 40?

    Wow. That's sounds more like a bucket list to me. You really want to do all that in a year?

  2. Hi Susan,

    Thanks for the early birthday wishes. :) It's actually not a bucket list (I'm not kicking the bucket anytime soon...hopefully!)
    I just want to show people how much we can actually do in our lives that we deem impossible.
    And we don't need to be faced with illness or terrible circumstances to realize that our life is a gift. We only get one chance at it - so why not make it the best possible one, starting today?
