The Agenda

The Agenda.

Agenda has an intentional ring to it, eh? Like when your boss says to you in a meeting “This is on the agenda, it is happening.” And you’re all like ”Omg he is so serious, yes I will complete this ASAP, Sir.” So yes, y’all- I don’t have a bucket list, I have an agenda. An intentional list of things I will (and have) complete/d. This agenda is growing (pretty rapidly, I might add) but I try to complete the tasks often and keep the adventure flowing. So here I am, sharing my agenda as, hmmmm, a form of accountability. There is something special about sharing your hopes and dreams and goals with the people you care about, because when you complete them you get to look at them and excitedly announce “I DID THAT!”. And I know that feeling will be worth it all. Accomplishing things I am proud of is such an amazing feeling.

Here we go. Are you ready? Pinky swear you won’t judge me, please.
