Inspired by Maggie Mason at Mighty Girl and dozens of other beautiful, lovely women.
What would surprise me if I found out I hadn’t done it by the time I died? What are the little things I expect to just unroll in front of me? What are the big, amazing things that absolutely wouldn’t happen without some heads-down, teeth-clenched work? What things have I been concentrating on that don’t really matter? These were the questions presented by Maggie and have been a fantastic place for me to begin my list. These are the things I've thought about and wished about and dreamed about. And now I have a place to help me do it.
