tiara's "bucket list" for '09

Okay... so Bri and I watched the movie "Bucket List", per strong recommendations from my co-workers. The movie inspired me to write my own "bucket list" - and I challenge you to write your own too... Why should we wait till we are given bad news or get told our "life expentancy" timeframe, before we start to reevaluate and recalibrate our lives??

So here is my list...

1. Be impeccable with my words - mean what I say and say what I mean... pretty simple right? LOL
2. Travel: I would like to go to China (Hong Kong, Shanghai) and eat REAL dimsum, SF to visit our friends and family, Go back to Lana'i (with travel also to Maui, BI and Moloka'i), New Zealand (the culture just fascinates me), Venice, Greece, and Paris... a girl can dream ;)
3. Meet my FIRST child - if in God's plan for me...
4. Lose at least 10 lbs if above doesn't happen, OR gain at least 10lbs if the above happens! always got a Plan A & B! LOL
5. Make time to connect with family and friends. Let them know how much they mean to me - especially the ones I haven't seen in a long time.
6. Be "present" in every moment - no more daydreaming, thinking of everywhere else I would rather be... or mentally going down my laundry list of things to do...
7. Start advertising LED in a public media format. (not just through fb, myspace or relying on word-of-mouth, even though I totally LOVE referrals :))
8. Get finances in order (personal & LED's) - refinance, consolidate & prepare for the future.
9. Do more design & vision work to help others. I need to start sharing my gift with others.
10. Help and connect with a complete stranger (not including the work I do at KS)
11. Always look first through the lens of love and compassion rather than judgement. Look for the divine in each person and situation... if I can't... I gotta just PRAY for them! ;)
12. Practice listening with my heart on a daily basis... and help illuminate the heart of others through La'akea's work...

SO... now your turn. Please take a moment and write down your list of intentions. Let me know what your list is and we can hold eachother accountable :)

Much love to you in this "divine '09" as my friend DOB says ;)
