Inspired by Celestine Chua’s public bucket list, I’ve decided to create one of my own. This transparency will not only inspire me to pursue the goals on this list with greater motivation, but will allow you to get a better sense of who I am through my goals and accomplishments. I encourage you to subscribe to my newsletter if you want me to update you as I accomplish the items on my bucket list. And if any of these ideas appeal to you, pursue them as well!
