Don't Kick the Bucket (List)

January is a month of motivation. Of change. Of rebirth. Making goals and resolutions and plans for self improvement is something I look forward to doing at the turn of the new year. In addition to bettering myself, I am focusing on bettering the overall quality of my life. 2015 will be the year that I truly live. Eleven months from now, I want to reflect on this time as a period of growth, love, service, and peace. I want to reflect with no regrets.

Here are some things I don't want to miss in 2015. Feel free to share some of your own as well. May this year be your best one yet! 

1. Grow Something Green

2. Travel Far & Often

3. Take Time to Have Time

4. Learn a New Language 

5. Cook More from Scratch

Have the best year of your life. You deserve it!
