Life List

I enjoy lists. grocery lists. chore lists. party planning lists. timeline lists. and life lists.  I guess it's the idea or rush of accomplishment you feel while crossing off an item. Below is my living breathing lists of my life lists. I'm hoping this list serves as a roadmap to help navigate and keep me focused on the road of life!
