I listen to BOBW and I’ve read (and bought) most of your books. I’ve started reading your blog archives recently and when I came to this one I was struck by how many of these items you have already done! I only know of the ones you mentioned on the podcast / recent blog posts / books, but it’s still quite a few.

You really do practice what you preach! I’m impressed.

Suggest you go to a craft beer festival! Or tour a craft brewery. The latter is more kid friendly.

A mixture of basic things that most people have done and some very ambitious ones that will take some achieving…. like it as the same.

We just moved to the area south of Seattle a couple of months ago. I’ve had some back issues but we hope it won’t be long before we are exploring the area and the mountains here. It’s AMAZING to drive down the interstate on a clear day and see that Mountain (Ranier). If you ever make it to the area, let me know!

On another note, I’ve begun making a list similar to this and it gets re-written every three months…I like the idea of having a longer list and specific to the different categories. I will be working on this over the weekend. Thanks!

In reply to deborah@applesinwonderland. @Deborah: Go for it! We often get so caught up in daily life that we don't stop and think what we'd like to do with our time (and our lives). I will probably come back to this list multiple times, and it changes over time. But isn't it nice to spend a while dreaming?

Laura,
Alright, I cannot stop thinking about this. So today this is my intention. To think about and write my 100 dreams. I’ve done a short bucket list but the *dream* part–makes this feel different–maybe that’s just me. Thanks for this mind-shift:)

In reply to Bonnie.

@Bonnie – sounds like a good start for a list. Would like to hear more about the business! And yes, the point of this is to get us thinking, because part of the trouble with filling our time is that we don’t know what we’d like to do with it. So if someone magically gave us another 50 hours, we’d probably just do more of what we’re doing now.

1. Launch the business that’s been on the back burner too long
2. Finish & publish my book
3. Travel to the Middle East
4. Play the piano again
5. Live in a house I love
6. Get extended family together for annual reunion
7. Create a passive income stream
8. Lose weight
9. Manage time better (think I’ve found a resource for that!)
10. Write another book

As already mentioned in comments, some of my dreams are impacted by choices of others. And some are impacted by severe back problems (piano, travel, some work). So some may have to be creative. I may have to find a way to love the house I’m in. I may need to travel “virtually”. I’ve done a little of that.

You have me thinking, and I’m sure that’s part of the secret to achieving your dreams. 100 will sure be a lot of work!

no hot air balloon rides around here in this iffy weather, unless I want to travel to Arizona ( I do, but not yet) there is one every year in NJ, so I am going to get on the email list for that one.

In reply to Nancy Rielle.

@Nancy, @Gwen – I love the idea of List of 100 Dream pairings! Like cheese and wine…
