I recently had a flashback of a bucket list (yes, my flashbacks are deceivingly exciting) I posted before J was born 23+ years ago... in which "become a mom" was at the top of my list!

And now that I've navigated through, survived, learned, and rebuilt from a whole mess of what life has challenged me with, I figured this would be the perfect time to create a new list of experiences, adventures, and achievements I want to accomplish during my comeback era.

Just brain-dumping atm (11/06/24) so this is an unordered list including big life goals as well as things people consider ho-hum yearly traditions lol.

  • FOR THE SOUL
