There are more than ten things I'd want to do in my life all hanging about in the top five of my list. The ones I'll list now are the ones that fight for space constantly in my waking mind. They are the things I can't seem to forget or push aside, the things that no matter what I do in the now I just can't free myself of them. These things always pull at my heart strings. These are the things that I really want to be doing but I'm not yet doing, listing them serves a catalyst to get them in motion.
My top ten list
1) Travel- When I turn forty I want to ditch everything, have a little back pack and just travel the world. I want to meet different people, taste different foods I just want to experience life.
2) Write a novel - I've been writing since I can remember. So many stories are lying dormant, saved on my PC waiting to be read. I've always envisioned myself as a published author, at some point I want to take that bold step and make it a reality.
3) Have a full play staged - I want a full play staged at a big theater in London or Manchester. Even though I've had small showcase plays, I want one fully staged play.
4) Have my screen play on BBC - Have a 60 minute drama shown on television.
5) Own a house in Dubai, America and Italy. I love these countries and want a base in each one of them so I can circulate the world at certain times of the year.
6) Raise my daughter into a strong independent woman. Teaching her that she has choices, not only by what I say but most importantly by what I do.
7) Adopt - Give a child a chance in life to reach his/her full potential.
8) To love and be loved without holding the image in my mind about how love should present itself. It may come in any form, color or size. To be able to identify it, love it, know it and feel it and go with the flow of it.
9) To reach a high awareness of self. Learn how to stay in the moment without the fear of loosing that feeling.
10) Be a source of inspiration to people who cross my path in this life. I want to leave a heart print in the lives of others. In whatever way and to be of service to others. This will give me great joy!
