Creating Your Best Life

I've decided to start a blog to record my experiences through life, but more specifically, my journey through attempting and completing my life list. I don't expect anyone to read this, I just thought it would be a nice way for me to write down the details.

It all started about 3 months ago when I was browsing through Barnes and Noble and came across a table of self help type books. One in particular caught my eye. It was called Creating Your Best Life, The Ultimate Life List Guide, by Caroline Adams Miller and Dr. Michael Frisch. For anyone that knows me, I write EVERYTHING down. I always have a to do list in my planner. In my mind, if I write it down, it frees up brain space for me to think about other things. A book detailing steps and tools to help me build the ULTIMATE list????? Needless to say, I had to have this book.

I diligently read every chapter soaking in what the authors had to say. I felt that my life had come to a sort of plateau, while I just sat and waited for the next stage in my life to begin. I knew what I wanted in life, I just wasn't actively going after anything. I was just waiting. The book is written very methodically and the eventual outcome after reading the book is supposed to be your very own "Life List". Lots of people make life lists, much like the one in the movie "The Bucket List" with Nicholson and Freeman. I'm not sure why I never thought of doing this before because it's the end all of lists.

So basically, my blog (first one ever), will chronicle my hopefully, daily work towards completing my life list. Along the way, I will also share things that I learned while reading the book. I didn't want to start the blog or work on the list until it was complete, which took me a long time. Coming up with 100 things you want to do before you die is a lot harder than it seems. There is no deadline to complete the list, but the goal is to always actively work towards something on the list. On the next post, I will write out the list for the world to see.

Live, Laugh, Love.
