“Some people create a bucket list because they are dying; I created one because I want to live.” –Lesley Carter
Earlier this year, I came across Lesley Carter’s 2013 bucket list and was inspired to create my own. (Ed. Note: If you haven’t checked out Lesley’s Bucket List Publications, please do so. What an inspiration!)
