glamazIni
LOL … no hun, i’ve only taken zumba but hope to be teaching by the end of 2010 🙂
CristineYvonne
we have some of the same goals! like read the Bible beg>end; i just finished numbers … & a few of the places you want to visit!
I hope you’ll be feeling better soon & i’ll keep you in my prayers 🙂
Mattie
hey lady, I will keep you in my prayers, your message made me a bit upset as you are so upbeat and personable, so to read something like that from you seems serious.
God loves you and so do I, take care!!!!!!
Adora
love your list. Was just talking to my sis this weekend about living more consciously. hmm, i should start working on one of my own…
Latoya
Miss yours vids! Hope all will work out in God’s timing…He knows what He is doing 🙂
CreoleSoul
IDK if you wanna keep that Segway on your list… you know considering what happened to the president of Segway and all! But great list nonetheless!

@CreoleSoul ————————->
OMG I had to look that up?! WHAT IN THE WORLD!!! O_O
Sue
Now I know what a Segway is. The article about the owner mentions that President Bush took one for a test drive and had to jump off after losing control! You really love life! I like the addition at number 1. Maybe u should go to South Africa-they have beautiful vineyards and good wine, and if you’re lucky you might catch the Gospel choir in concert as well :). Or you could go to California when the choir next does a North American tour.

@Sue ————————->
No offense but when Bush did that he’d neglected to turn the thing on O_O HA! Oh but actually there are wineries right here in Missouri. We used the be the largest producer of wine a century ago I believe before Cali. I’ll do one of those one day soon 🙂
Angel
Ini – I’ve been to quite a few vineyards. NC (beleive it or not) has a BUNCH of vineyeards. I’ve been to several. I’ve also been a South African vineyard (Stellenbosch)
Me
If you want a winery in St. Louis area try Mt Pleasant (when in season). They have several wineries in the same area and you can winery-hop if you get there early enough. Plus they sometimes have life music. It’s located in Augusta (St. Charles county).

Thanks!

Beckie
How did you learn to do a cartwheel?
Beckie
I forgot to say I’d recommend keeping the segway experience. I did it, and it was a blast. Just remember to avoid cliffs.
glamazini
@Becky
lol on “avoid cliffs” … uh thanks 😛
Basically me & the dude went out to a park & practiced. It was scary but he spotted me & told me if I needed to straighten up or whatever. I was SO SORE the next day ouch!
Marie
Your list is full of exciting adventures!!! It inspires me to think more about what I want to do & what I’ve done in life, and start my own list. Thanks!

Awesome! I’m always noting new things to try and do 🙂
