To Do
583. Pick an animal to be my mascot
Humans have always felt deep bonds between themselves and animals.
500. Take part in a rain dance
I missed out on seeing a rain dance when I attended a powwow that got rained out.
435. Rage, rage against the dying of the light
Inspired by Dylan Thomas’s poem, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
414. Cast a spell
Updated January 2010 I have no idea where it originally came from, but somehow a book of magic spells ended up in my hands when I was a kid. I spent hours pouring over it, fascinated by the stories told inside. The first half of the book was collected up stories of witches and witchcraft […]

I think I’m also good at questioning the big stuff in […]
139. Be the hero of my own life
I won’t let anything hold me back.
115. Have my palm read
The mysticism of palm reading – do these women really know something about the future? Or are they just gifted at looking into people and seeing what’s really there?
