Thought Pathway



"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. . . To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." ---Thoreau

A chip off my bucket list...

My adorable cousin Kailee came over tonight and interviewed me for her English project...I was curious when I first heard she wanted to use me, haha, as she didn't say what exactly her project was. Turns out her class just finished reading 'Star Girl' and her assignment was to interview someone 'uniqiue'. Haha! I love my life. I'm the special one...



One of the questions she asked me was what some of my goals/aspirations in life are. I blanked at first, then furiously tried to organize the millions of thoughts hurling themselves onto my stage. Now that I'm done being questioned I decided I wanted to write a few of my 'dreams' down. These aren't the top-of-the-list-serious-live-or-die dreams, just a handful of items on my bucket list.

*Go skydiving (hopefully multiple times)
*Be an EFY couselor
*Serve a full-time LDS mission
*Write a successful novel
*Publish and put into circut my magazine
*Get a pilot's license

*Be in a legit breakdance crew
*Be a professional photographer
*Own or work on a horse rescue/abused youth therepy ranch
*Be a journalist
*Live in New York above a bakery
