First Goal Down

This past weekend, I celebrated my first goal with a very exciting adventure - Zip Lining at Grouse Mountain.  If you've never been - I encourage you to try it.  It's fun, it's exhilarating and there's some spectacular views from the zip lines.

The lines allow you to zip at top speeds of 80km/hr across the peaks of Grouse Mountain and Dam Mountain. 

There were nine people in my group, and the ages ranged from 20 all the way to 70. 

It just goes to show you that age should NEVER be a restriction to take on a new adventure! 

It was a partly sunny day, which allowed me to enjoy the views while I waited my turn on the zip lines.  The best was going over a partly frozen lake and zipping over tree tops that you could almost reach out and touch!

If you can get over any fear of heights, this is an adventure that I'd recommend for any novice thrill-seeker to try! For more info, you can visit their website at http://www.grousemountain.com and click on "Adrenaline Adventures".

1 down - 39 to go! :)

Count Down to June 11th, 2011

As of my 39^th 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?
