My To-Do List
I met Reagan on a spelunking expedition a few months ago and she gave me a link to see her blog and I was extremely impressed by her creativeness, passion and commitment to life and her dreams. She really reminds me of me a few years earlier. Passionate and driven to achieve all that she sets out to do. I wonder what happened to that person inside of me. I have lost that spark for life…but I am going to get it back again, like her I am going to put together a list of things I would like to do before this passion is taken over other priorities in life, you get on chance to do it right, might as well do it with style right?
