While in Puerto Vallarta this week on a little girls getaway I met a fascinating young woman named Marci Nault. Marci has an interesting life and appears to live it to the fullest. In 2008, while her brother was near death, she wrote a list of 101 dreams she wanted to fulfill. 4 years later, she is about three quarters of the way through the list. Her dreams included riding in a race car, getting a book published with a major publisher (due out this May with Simon and Schuster), and learning to figure skate competitively. She blogs about her adventures here.
It seems that Marci kinda got under my skin. She is an ordinary person who has chosen to live her life fearlessly, and I am a bit jealous. Fearlessness seems foreign to me. I know it does to a lot of other people too.
She has me really thinking here and I am going to try to come up with my own list. I am having a hard time even contemplating 100 things but I am going to really give it a go. In fact, I’m gonna try for 108, an auspicious number!
Lots of us talk about ‘bucket lists’, but how many of us actually take the time to write them down? What about do them? I know I haven’t. Have you?
