Hollow Bones

"In our life there is a time of wonder. Walking with the ancient ones as they share their world. And the dancing voices are carried by the wind. As I walk this sacred ground, I know I'm not alone, and I thank Mother Earth."  ~Alex Davis, Seneca Cayuga

Bucket List

I've been watching a comedy on Netflix called No Tomorrow. It started out on the CW, but unfortunately it wasn't renewed. The premise: This guy, Xavier, is convinced an asteroid is going to impact the earth in eight months, wiping us out.  So he quits his job and writes a "bucket list" of things he wants to do during his last days with his friend Evie.

Some of them are poignant, like reconnecting with his estranged father. Some are adventurous, like skydiving. And some are wacky. Rolling down a hill in one of those huge hamster bubbles was one.


When I turned 60, I experienced the same morbid feeling of "last days" and started my own bucket list. Now, It makes me smile every time I cross something off. Here's the list:
  1. Write & publish my first novel (Done! Song of the Ancients, 2015)
  2. Earn $1,000 from book and apply for PAN status RWA (Done! 2016)
  3. Write a suspense novel (working – completed draft August)
  4. Write next novel in the paranormal series (starting August)
  5. Get a bigger publisher. Maybe an agent also.
  6. Learn to snowshoe
  7. Learn to cross country ski
  8. Run a 10k race as a senior
  9. Learn to Tango-Salsa-Mambo
  10. Back country hike Yosemite
  11. Buy a cabin in the woods (Done! We spend our summers there)
  12. Set up a home office and library in my home (Done!)
  13. Go through a Croning ceremony
  14. Make a quilt (well, actually finish one!)
  15. Attend oldest son's wedding with his new love. (Almost. He just got engaged last week!)
  16. Become a grandma (done)
  17. Witness youngest son fall in love and get married.
  18. Take great vacations for book research in Hawaii, Scotland, Wales, Alaska, Newfoundland, Iceland, Central America (Have Scotland booked for July!)
  19. Visit an active volcano
  20. Participate in a shamanic journey ceremony

Now it's your turn.  Leave YOUR bucket list in this blog's comment section. From the comments here and on my group site, paranormalromantics.com,
I will draw a random name for a digital copy of my paranormal novel, Song of the Ancients.
 
The only limitation is your imagination. Here's your chance to share your dreams!
