52 Life List.

In light of my friend Alex Moody's post on 52 Life List...I decided to create my own. It wasn't easy...it does take more time than I thought it would. But here it is. Let's see where it takes me. :)

Hopefully this inspires someone out there to do their own life list. 


1.  Travel to teach yoga in other states. 
2.  Travel to teach yoga in other countries.
3.  Travel, more, period and write about it. (check...)
4.  Write more, period. (check). 
5.  Get published as a poet. 
6.  Get published as a short story writer.

10. Learn to play the guitar.
11. Travel to India to an ashram.
12. Travel to Bretagne (France) and eat oysters and fresh caramels (not at the same time).

19. Get my master's degree, probably in psychology or art studies.
20. Go back to college for art classes (good to take baby steps).

23. Have a library room, absolutely filled with books.
24. Paint more. 
25. Maybe actually get paid for taking photos. It's been a lifelong hobby...so why not? Or better yet! Have my photos in an art show. Someone told me I should do this locally and I like the idea.

50. In light of previous goal...age gracefully and realize that my body is a vessel that allows me to do amazing things and not sweat aging so much as women are prone to do (and as I must admit I am starting to worry about).
51. Become more comfortable with public speaking.
