This list is inspired by my home girl Cristal. She actually shared her list (http://www.blamecristal.com/lifelist/) with me when I was on WTF Online Radio for our Cinco de Mayo show in 2011. I thought it was such a good idea, that I made my own, and I encourage other's to do so as well. So often we think about the things we've NEVER done - let's take a look at the things we have done.
A LIFE LIST is an incredible list of experiences, places you've been and things you've seen and owned. It helps us appreciate the things we've been blessed with so far. You should live a life excited to wake up each morning to add something cool to this list.
