My Bucket List

I’ve always kept a Bucket List tucked away in journals and over the years have added to them and crossed accomplishments off, but have yet to make it public. Just as I believe goals should be made public to keep you accountable, so should the biggest things you want to do before you die.

I’ve recently been inspired by the 4 boys of The Buried Life to make my bucket list known and start crossing things off the list.
