Mighty Life List

This is definitely a work in progress. It’s daunting to make a list of 100 things that I haven’t done and tempting to throw some in that I’ve already done (and cross them out immediately) so it feels like I’m accomplished, but here’s to the Mighty Life List which I expect will evolve and change and grow… Thanks to Mighty Girl!
