This is actually the post for DAY 5 of the challenge. I am now officially ahead!

“The Bucket List” concept is a critical part of my Periscope story.
It was in September, 2015 and I decided I would work on my Bucket List using an art journal style brainstorm. I wanted to do so in a park because from the beginning, I wanted the town I live in to be featured in my scopes.
It was raining that morning I stood in a section of Hart Park, surrounded by peacocks and a delectable smell of rain on concrete – rare here in drought stricken California – and the partnered sounds of rain on the steel roof of the enclosure I created within.
I scoped my heart out on this prompt from a scoping group I was in AND the reason I got on Periscope in the first place.
Well, this group of scopers didn’t really care what I had to say, or do, or show so they rarely showed up on my scopes.
I am stubborn, though, and I found the PeriGirls – a group of women scopers who cared, who showed up, and they were such a diverse group I did find plentiful women who appreciated who I was and what I scoped about whether it was art journaling a bucket list or reading poetry or doing daily assignments, I forged on and now eleven months later I am still enjoying live streaming and continuing to improve at it (or so I like to think!)
As far as bucket lists go, I am not wild about the name AND I so appreciate their intent.
I like to create bucket lists by season rather, although I remembered when I saw this prompt how so much of my life transformation happened after I put together a 100 Goals list at the urgings of Mark Victor Hansen back in 1997 or 1998.
I would like to devote the next few days to creating a 100 Experiences, Places and Accomplishments List and see what adventures that maps out for my life.
By the way, in working on a graphic for this blog post I found these two very cool bucket images I thought I would share as well - for no reason other than they were a fun find and I thought you might enjoy!
I’ll report back on my 100 Lists. I think I may have a list of my "Ta-Da's" - those I've achieved and then a "Transformation" list as well. Will report back soon!
