My very good friend Kesha (aka Uncommon Chick) wrote a recent blog post called ‘My 40 Things Before Age 40 List’ which is comprised of a bucket list of 40 things she would like to accomplish before she turns the big 4-0. This inspired me to also create a list since, in 4 years, I will be hitting that huge milestone. Some folk say that 40 is the new 30 (because 30 is the new 20), so I am looking forward to embracing it rather than hide from it. I think when you reach 40, you organically begin to feel that you have a new lease on life.
So without adieu, here is my #40by40 List:
1. Travel to London and Tokyo
2. See my son graduate from college
3. Bring sexy back in a size 6/8
4. Finish my 2nd novel and have it printed by a major publishing house
5. Take my grandmother on a trip somewhere
6. Move to a warmer climate
7. Get enough guts to shave my head
8. Take my daughter to New York City
9. Watch someone close to me rise to the TOP!
10. Finally be completely happy with who I am
11. Have an over-the-top destination birthday party
12. Visit Boston and Philly
13. Buy a BMW
14. Learn patience
15. Become a yoga enthusiast
16. Attend New York Fashion Week
17. Create a fabulous home office
18. Go handgliding
19. Have another baby
20. Meet Oprah
21. Work for Oprah
22. Have a professional and stunning model shoot in L.A.
23. Learn the importance of being earnest
24. Repair damaged familial relationships (one in particular)
25. Have my Daddy be proud of me
26. Buy a summer home
27. Spend a Thanksgiving in a log cabin
28. Learn photography
29. Master a foreign language (any will do)
30. See Paris at night
31. Have no pimples on my face whatsoever!
32. Experience a destination spa for a full weekend
33. Teach everyone in my circle how to Dougie
34. Get a tummy tuck and breast lift
35. Be completely out of debt
36. See my Aunt get married
37. Hear the announcement that there has been a cure for cancer
38. Charter a private jet
39. Meet Janet Jackson
40. Make it BIG
My #sistertribe member Andrea also wrote out her 40 by 40 List HERE. It’s amazing what us girls want to do before we hit that critical milestone 🙂
So the ball is in YOUR court now. What is on your #40by40 list? I’m interested in knowing what you would include on your lists!
Nice! Why are 19 and 34 crossed out? I need to work on my list soon. #6 & #32 are also things I’d like to do.
Glammy, they are crossed out because if I do DO them, it will be before I turn 40. I am not totally convinced I want to do them though. Make sense? LOL
Alright, I finally posted my list today. Check me out 🙂
I gotta see #7! Completely shaved? Is there a motivator? #curious 🙂
#11 and 13, I wanna roll!
#33, u silly and #37, I’m still working on that 😉
You also made me think of another one I need to add based on your #22 (body painting model shoot I’ve always wanted to do) 🙂
Great list girl! Here’s to us achieving our #40by40 goals!!!
I love this list! But I will be sad if #6 happens, happy for you all, but sad for me 🙁
Great list!
I’d like to:
Become Published (again)
Get My Degree so I can move forward in my career…
Travel back to Isla Mujeres
Obtain this FAB condo I have my eye on. 🙂
Do Public Speaking (again) on a regular
Have a relationship w/ my Mom and Brother.
Are you sure you will be able to do all this in one birth? I need almost 200 years to complete half the list.
