My Bucket List, starting in 2024, is purposefully created in lieu of New Years resolutions. Based loosely on my 2022 version, several items that were not fully completed in the past couple of years were carried over, a few others were modified – such as reading one book a month for consistency throughout the year without restricting myself to 12 specific titles and new things were added with an intentional focus on creativity.
This Bucket List is intended to be dynamic, somewhat similar to my 2024 GGratitude post in that I will regularly update the post throughout the year. I am not creating this with a firm unwavering spirit of achieving every single item by December 31st, but rather as guidance of where I would ideally want to dedicate my time and energy towards. I give myself the flexibility to edit, remove and add at my discretion as I evolve.
What’s on your bucket list?
