My “30 Things” Challenge

Sequoia Houston

So, I turn 21 (again) next year and I figured I’d create a fun way to celebrate this milestone by creating a bucket list of   sorts….Each item on the list is either something that I’ve always wanted to do, just discovered I wanted to do, thought that I should have done by now or was highly recommended by a cherished family member or friend.

From now until June 17, 2014, my birthday, I’ll chronicle my journey through the list (in no particular order)…and hey, I might even find new things to add. This seems like it is going to be a ton of fun and I look forward to you taking this journey with me. Please check in on me, keep me encouraged and hold me accountable for completing my list. Also, feel free to be inspired and create your own list….take time to do those small things you’ve always wanted to do and just never made time for.

Well…here’s the list:bucket-list-780x566

    I have a “bucket” list on my blog as well, but I really like yours. Especially number one. Have you ever done stand-up comedy before? I think getting up on a stage and trying to make people laugh must be one of the scariest things to do. Huge props for having that on your list!

      How fun! I’ll follow you as well. Let’s keep each other encouraged :)……I’m an actress but I have never done stand-up before. It terrifies me because all I can think of is getting up there and hearing crickets after telling a joke I just knew was going to kill lol. Gotta get over that though…One of my friends also suggested posing nude for an art class….that might have to make it on my “40 by 40” list lol

        Oh wow! That is an interesting one. I might add that to my list as well. Talk about getting thrust outside of your comfort zone! Yes! Let’s encourage each other 🙂
