Hug someone who has an incurable illness.

One of my goals in life is to love people. Those who have never felt loved. Those who are dying. Those who are so young they've barely lived. Those who are starving. Those who are homeless... It doesn't matter - I have been created to love. One of the best expressions of love is a hug. I will never forget about something I read when I was young (under the age of 10) and it said "a hug is a handshake of hearts". Perfect. Simple. Exact. Honest. Everyone should know they are loved, so I have the desire to put that knowledge into the heart of someone who is dying...

Speak to a crowd.

I'm really going to try and not repeat, but you must realize - it's hard to come up with something new every day!
Here's one which I realized I wanted to do this past year...
I love having peoples attentions. I love sharing my knowledge and wisdom with others. I love ministering to others hearts. I love when God downloads information into me and I find myself saying things I'm not even thinking... So yes, I want to speak to a crowd. :)

(Hi! I'm back....)

In the past year I have been through a lot to say the least. Recently I began thinking about this blog which I left behind and have felt as though I really should finish it. So! My #184th dream/return promise is... To finish this blog - I promised 365, I will deliver 365!

I'm sure sometime later I'll write a post about where I've been and what's occurred in my life, as it's been quite the journey!

Walk all night around a city.
So lately I've been walking around at night kind of discovering my temporary home here in Cali and I realized just a little bit ago that it's something I love to do - just walk and enjoy the quiet of the darkness and the crazy of the night.

Why would I want to do this?
Walking at night one is able to find a certain part of them that they never knew existed before. Between all of those layers of the day and all of the people you encounter you can lose yourself... But at night when it's just you or you and a close friend, you'd be amazed as to what you can discover.

Attend a NFL game.
After watching the Eagles beat the 49er's tonight I realized that a) I hadn't updated my blog in awhile and b) I want to attend a game!

Why would I want to do this?
Because it's one of those things that apparently your life isn't complete without.
Also, I'm kind of a dork and love the game. Hehe!

Build a tree house.
A lot of things have been on my mind recently and I'd like to say that this came to me while I was driving through the neighborhoods of Redding, CA (my new home), but I can't. One of those random thought trails led to me realizing I never had a tree house as a child. I figure, I'm still a child at heart, so I can still build a tree house. :)

Why would I want to do this?
Having a home is one thing. You decorate it, bring a certain presence into it, you set things the way you want them to be. Once. If you switch things around all the time, you'll not only run out of money but soon people will wonder what is wrong with you. Whereas with a tree house... You have a smaller space - but it's a blank canvas. You can walk in and every day it's a different set up - especially if you leave it open for the imagination...
This might have something to do with entering a brand new house and having a room to make mine (just a room) and thinking over what I want on the walls and the colors over again...
I've found that no matter what I'm drawn to black and silver for furniture... And light green, purple and blue for accent colors. Yeah. What can I say? I have favorites. Haha!

Get a head shot.
So you could easily say that I took the summer off from updating my blog, and it was an intentional break... But then we'd all be lying. I just slacked off majorly and was too busy to even think about coming up with things I want to do.
But I'm back! Hopefully I'll be able to keep it up the rest of the year...
So --- a head shot. Yes. Something that is very important in any performing artists career and somehow I missed that moment.

Go to a salsa club.

So I love salsa dancing - and I can do it pretty well, but I've never been at a club!

Why would I want to do this?

Because it should be fun! :)

Change my own oil.
You know how you have to have your cars oil changed every so many miles or so long? Well, I know it's possible to do it yourself (for most cars) and I think it'd be so awesome if I could do it myself! Then I would save money too... :)

Why would I want to do this?
Against all belief, I don't mind getting dirty all the time - mind you there are days where I'm totally against it but I can give in. XD

#177

Swing dance.
Hehe - amazingly I never have...

Why would I want to do this?
It's one of very few dance styles I've never taken a single class in. It looks so darn fun too! What's the deal? One of these days for sure...

#176

Go to a jazz club.
I've had a recent interest in Jazz music - odd for me, but what's normal anymore?

Why would I want to do this?
Atmospheres are really intriguing to me - to the point that I'd put myself into a situation where a new atmosphere is experienced. This is one of those things, however it'd be a rather entertaining time I'm sure :)

#175

Learn how to play Chopsticks.
Play. Not use. Dear goodness I know how to use chopsticks! Are you kidding me?!
Anyway - Chopsticks. Yes. Super easy, isn't it?

Why would I want to do this?
Because then I can actually know something in music.

#174

Learn how to drive a manual.
Okay so everyone in Europe seems to drive a manual - and in all honesty it seems to be a lot more fun!

Why would I want to do this?
So I can drive an original Mini and rock out to "The Wreckoning" - Boomkat like Charlize Theron's character in The Italian Job? Haha! Seriously though - that scene where she parks the Mini outside her business is sick... Moving on... XD

#173

Rope swing into a body of water.
In all honesty I love rope swings... I love swings... I love the momentum that is created. Bah.

Why would I want to do this?
Water is my friend. :) Hehehehe!

#172

Dance at a campfire.
I love fire. I love dancing. This is just a given that I've never done....

Why would I want to do this?
The fact I haven't yet is absolutely ridiculous - it must be done asap!
