I hope you accomplish all of your goals but I hope you are also starting to make a list of things to do AFTER you are 50! That is when the fun really starts!
That is good to know because I have so much more I want to do.
What a great idea Terri. I'll be turning 50 in April and I've done none of the things I thought I would by now. I think I ought to follow suite and try to do a list myself. Unfortunately it won't be those things I thought I'd be able to do with the millions of dollars I was supposed to have by now ~ so it will just have to be an altered list. I hope you accomplish everything you hope to and more. Be sure to keep us updated.
Happy Halloween...Tracy
Also, I'm having a fun fall giveaway. Stop by and enter.
Great idea. Wish I had thought of that before I turned 50 last month. Oh well, I can start and AFTER 50 list!
Hugs.
What a wonderful and inspiring idea Teri! I have some similar goals for Portland...I live 2 hours away and have only been a handful of times because it seems so overwhelming and I've gotten lost a few times already! (o:
Good luck with your list!

You are inspiring...I only have one goal before 50...get to a healthy weight!
good goals teri!
i guess my list would be 50 things before I hit 60!! yikes!!!!!!
I tell ya, the 50's have been the best!!! :)
Hugs!!
I think the idea is to do a list every year but I knew I wouldn't get 49 things done this year so I made it 50 for the following year and it may be doable. Good luck everyone on your lists. Let me know if you post one, I would love to see it.
Hi Terri,
I found your website on your Facebook profile via Julie Points' profile. I feel like that's a little creepy, but I nose around anyway.
I love what you're doing! This is beautiful! And if you're ever interested in knocking off #43 (teach art journaling to a newbie) I'd be happy to help (seriously).

The best is yet to come...hard to believe I know but truly the 50's are wonderful years...freedom to explore outside and inside...it's good you're thinking in terms of goals because if you don't ever think about it you probably won't do it.....
I like your list, Teri!
I hope you don´t mind that I linked to you from mine :-)
Love your list! I found your blog from Mary Freeman's blog. I especially liked your entry to lead an art journal Bible study. I've wanted to do that as well, but haven't set any goals, or thought out a plan yet. Have you made any progress?
