My Life Palette

A few years ago I eschewed Life Lists, Goal Lists, Bucket Lists and all their ilk and then in the Spring of 2011 I came across a post that changed my mind. You can read about why I originally banished lists from my life and what made me decide to welcome them back here. Or you can just know that this is a list of possibilities. Nothing is set in stone. Maybe I’ll complete every one of these hair-brained ideas, maybe I won’t. Either way they’re here to inspire me to dream big and pursue new experiences every day.
