Insanely Cool

My friend Connie Hozvicka at Dirty Footprints Studio wrote this in her comment to Borrowed Brainstorming Techniques “I just want to also insist that you list those “insanely cool” things you want to do with YOUR CREATIVE JUICY LIFE–not just for work.”

Well, first starting my own business(s) is insanely cool and fun for me, but I know what she meant. So, here is a new list of insanely cool, FUN things to do (for me)…

    Any activity or event that includes my nieces and/or nephews
    Finger painting
    Paint a mural on the side of my house
    Visit as many bookstores as I can find everywhere I go
    Build and decorate birdhouses
    Create butterfly and bird sanctuary in my backyard
    Build sandcastles
    Have an ‘art’ party
    Invite a group of friends to a go-cart party at the Funplex
    Decorate small wooden treasure chests and fill them with coins
    Go bowling
    Make a mini-movie
    Just hangout with friends
    Walk the boardwalk, ride the rides, play carnival games, eat pizza & drink ice-cold Coca-Cola
    Vacation at a private mountain retreat/cabin with a fireplace
    Vacation (or live part-time) in an open layout house on the beach – read, write and paint
    Candlelight dinner for two
    Design a smart phone app
    Learn at least three different programming languages
    Write one, two, three, or more books
    Shoot hoops at the park
    Duck watch
    Take a gymnastics class – learn to do a cartwheel & play on the ‘rings’
    Host a dinner party
    Make and decorate a clay teapot
    Learn to make vegan, jelly donuts
    Learning…workshops / classes…

      web-design
      graphic design
      drawing
      mixed media art-journaling
      game theory
      storytelling-in life & business
      art therapy
      ceramics
      and anything else that strikes my fancy

How about you? What would be on your list of ‘insanely cool’ & fun things to do?

    Earn a hot air balloon pilot’s license and fly over the Alps and anywhere else my fancy takes me (Ever seen a sunrise from a hot air balloon? Soooo pretty, spiritual and inspirational!)

    Live in Paris (I was born there)

    Publish novels, short stories, articles and poetry

    Inspire others to live their dreams

    Become an award-winning photographer

    Travel where I want, when I want and get paid to do it

    That’s just to start…

    Funny, I almost added travel and teach from an RV to my list, but changed my mind (wonder why??)
    We have a lot in common!!
    Hugs, Sandy
