Fantastic bucket list! I haven't fully created mine yet, but it is a wonderful reminder of everything we can strive towards. And yours in particular shows that we can achieve out goals/wishes.

I started a bucket list in my diary after seeing a film of the same name...

some things of my list include:

* a gospel brunch in NYC
* seeing Bon Jovi in New Jersey (no negative comments on my music choices PLEASE!).
* eat at a Gordon Ramsey restaurant
* try rollerblading
* have golf lessons

The list focuses my mind and ensures that I watch for opportunities experience items on my list.

This is first time on your site, but went straight to bucket list somehow. Impressed that you want to get a MSW, LCSW; I have both of those, but would love to do something like what you're doing.
You're coming to Richmond next Saturday and hope to make it to your book signing at OM. Was asking one of instructors when your birthday was and she thought you just had it.
I definitely felt a libra vibe when reading your book(I'm a libra too). Hope to see you next Saturday!

You should also try getting some surfing for beginnersif you haven't tried. I know I included it in my bucket list.
