Great list, Andrea!! So many goodies here, but my absolute favorite is "Changed someone's life". That is definitely something to be proud of.
ReplyDeleteHot damn I love this!! It's a total celebration of you!! How awesome to see so many accomplishments and adventures right there on the page. So often I forget some of the cool stuff I've actually done. I lived on an uninhabited island with no electricity or running water for 4 months doing zoological research in college. Lemurs used to poop in my tent. How many people can say that?
ReplyDeleteI should make a list like this to combat the times when I feel puny!
Love this! And I am so jealous that you had an all day spa experience!! That must have been pretty relaxing! :)

I've been to a lot of places you have been as well (I am from Germany), but parasailing would scare the crap out of me...
So glad I stumbled upon this. It's such a great exercise. Thank you. We should sing together sometime. ;)
