My Tick List



I make lists for just about everything. It helps me to organize my thoughts, and I love crossing things off any list.  I often have those 'I'd love to do that someday' moments, and I either write it down on a random piece of paper and lose it, or forget to write it down. This is an attempt at an amalgamation of my previous lists. I have accomplished a few items and am currently working on a few things.

The purpose of writing this list, for me, is to dream big and be inspired. Each day brings something new and inspirational. I don't want to get bogged down with 'finishing' the things on this list, because I don't think this list will ever be 'finished'. I plan on continuously adding new ideas and adventures. Now, let's start ticking things off this never-ending list!

“Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.”
-Harvey MacKay

  1. I think this list is awesome, Kayla! It reminded me of Maggie Mason's Life List. You might like this post; she learned to roll a kayak: http://mightygirl.com/2009/09/24/learn-to-roll-in-a-kayak-check/
