40 things to do by age 40

A couple weeks ago I was on Twitter & noticed a couple of my #sistatribe members, Kesha {Uncommonchick.com} and Andrea {SkinnyRiches.com}, tweeting about “40 by 40”.  Upon further inspection, I realized they had each made short-term “bucket lists” of 40 goals they’d like to accomplish before the fabulous age of 4-0.  I already maintain a bucket list here, but decided to join in on the fun {since goal-setting is right up my alley}.
