Episode 121: It's our Mid-Year Life List Update. Have we embraced our words for the year? Will we complete our life list of adventures for 2024?
Words for the year:
- Denise's word: Spontaneous - Denise won her word for 2024 by booking an impromptu trip to Iceland!
- Adrienne's word: Emerge - Adrienne is leaning into her new role at Penn State Harrisburg and feeling like her best self is ready to hatch!
- Shawna's word: Optimal - Shawna has made positive changes throughout the year and is feeling optimal in her life!
Life List Adventures Completed:
- Have a beach day - For our annual beach day, we headed back to one of our favorite places... Point Pleasant, NJ. The weather was perfect, and we soaked in as much sun and sand as the day would allow!
- Volunteer at Cocoa Packs - We joined Shawna and her co-workers from JEM Group as volunteers on the Cocoa Packs distribution line. Our mission: to pass out snacks and baked goods! A great day for a great cause!
- Watch roller derby - We got to watch two bouts with Harrisburg Area Roller Derby, learned scoring basics, and had a blast cheering for the Nuclear Knockouts!
- BONUS! The Price is Right - Not on the original list, but one of Shawna's all-time life list items. We made it to Hershey Theatre to join in the fun of a live, stage version of the Price Is Right.
Life List Adventures In Progress:
- Complete the Komen 3-day - Luggage tags and pink socks are purchased, and we fly to Dallas on Oct. 31! Follow us on social for updates during the 3-day, 60-mile walk happening Nov. 1-3!
- Enjoy seasonal celebrations - We have sniffed flowers in NYC (spring), but still working on those other seasons! We are soooo ready for rolling in leaves (fall)!
- Visit Denise's cabin - We had this planned for August but had to cancel due to weather. Plan B still TBD.
- Make goat's milk soap - We were hoping to go to a class at Barking Goat Farm, but classes are now being held on Fridays - which conflicts with work. Scheduling TBD.
- Sleep in a treehouse - Still working on locating an affordable treehouse that we can book for just one night.
- Serve food at a shelter - To be scheduled.
- Be a movie extra - Still in progress. This one has been on the list for the past two years, but we haven't been able to make it happen. Any leads??
