So here it is! This is my 50 Before 50 list(in no particular order). These are things I want to accomplish/do before I turn 50 in 5 1/2 years. I reserve the right to swap out for something better. :) Some of my choices might raise eyebrows, but I hope you understand the lightheartedness with which I put this list together...purposing to step outside my comfort zone as much as possible, stretch, and grow as a person/woman. Feel free to laugh! Enjoy! JH
