I am a big fan of Life Lists. My kids are always teasing me saying, “is that on the LL Mom?” That is how often I refer to my Life List!
The start of a New Year—and in this case a New Decade—is the perfect time to create or add to your Life List.
Some of the items I got to cross off my Life List in 2009 were driving up the California coast from Santa Barbra to San Francisco, writing another book, golfing 18 holes (even if it was 9 at a time), rowing, getting my friends to visit my favorite island, and stand up paddle boarding (much harder than it looks!)
One of the most fun things I did last summer was take a long weekend with my girl friends to Catalina Island. It was our annual Girls Trip and this year was extra special because one of my friends crossed something off her Bucket List—she finally went Parasailing!!! And I got to be there to witness it all. That is almost as much fun as crossing something off your own list!
What do you have on your Life List?

Hi Lisa,
I too am a fan of lists, and each year I try to do something that I have always wanted to do (e.g., getting a suite at the Waldorf with my cousin, going to Hawaii, etc.). Life goes so quickly (especially once you pass 40), so I wholeheartedly agree. This year’s list for me includes becoming a best-selling author (I have a book being released soon, and that is the goal –kinda grand, but let’s keep our fingers crossed).
One last thing, are you the Lisa Hammond who created the “Permission to Dream Journal”? If so, I will comment again regarding the journal. In the meantime, keep up the great work!

The creator of the Permission to Dream Journal and our bodacious blogger are indeed one and the same Lisa Hammond. Accept no imitations!
