I think that I have decided to post this because it is very personal to me. I love blogging the most because it allows me to truly share who I am and what I am thinking and feeling . When I am able to someday slurp this blog into a hard bound Family Journal for my posterity, maybe they will feel a little closer to me by reading things that happened in my life and those whom I love most and those things that are important to me.
The things on my Bucket list are not in order of importance . I did date the things that I have already checked off, some things I won't ever really know until after I have kicked the "BUCKET"!!
I have also changed the name of my BLOG,as I am sure you can see. I decided that while this blog is about my family, I wanted to take the focus off my name and make it a little FUN! I was hoping to post the picture of my white Hummer that had my license plate"4RQUEEN" but it is still in IDAHO on the wall of our Restaurant.And the Hummer that the license plate was attached too,I sold in Honolulu last year ,2009, when gas hit over $5.00 a gallon!! I was commuting to North shore everyday.I loved my 2004 WHITE HUMMER...may she forever ride free
Things come and go......
One thing that will never change is...... there is only one QUEEN in my Kingdom and I love to remind my friends that they are the Queen's of their kingdoms as well.
So this post I dedicate to The Future Queens from my Kingdom and to all of you who rule your Kingdoms with love,grace,happiness,laughter,peace,good food,lots of forgiveness for yourself and others,kindness,charity,faith and hope. Share your dreams, make them a reality ,we only go around once, love the life you live and live the life you love....and if you haven't a Bucket List???...write one!!..it really opens your mind to things that only you know about yourself,your dreams,your hopes......once you write it, put it out to the Universe!!! I just did and so can you. I will continue to date my list as I accomplish them.
At least think about it?....here goes.....:))

If blogging your life counts as a book, you did that. E books WILL be all the rage soon, check out the sales for kindles.
ReplyDeleteBe a best friend, ask your husband. He will tell you who you really are to him, so you did that.
Witness a miracle, your son will serve a mission because he follows the teachings of modern day prophets. He will change generations by doing so. You are about to see that once he gets to the MTC.
Oprah has a studio an 7 hour drive from me and still can't get in to see her, so if you ever go get an extra ticket for a sistah, will you = )
Love the list!

What am I? Chopped liver? Changed a life for good and witnessed a miracle, hello? You can definitely cross those off of your list. Oh, and if you need some company on those trips, let me know. I'm all about service and I'd love to try and help you achieve those goals! (ok, so I really just want to go someplace cool with someone I like so it's totally selfish, but whatever)
ReplyDeleteIt felt good to read your bucket.....& the listings of done & not done.....Loved the write up... Totally engrossing kind....
ReplyDeleteLONG LIVE YOUR KINGDOM.......
Now I got to go figure.... my bucket..... I hope I do not lose it....
I hope & pray.... we accomplish, what we have to & want to before we bid GOOD BYE!!!!!! May God give us the strength.....
Lots Of Love,

You lead and live a full life. After reading some of your blog, there's not doubt in my mind you'll fulfill the rest of your list.
ReplyDeleteSandra
Blog is the best way of self expression and I often tell people I met online to read my personal blog to know about myself. Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteOoohhh...I love the name change..you go QUEEN!! And love the bucket list. All the done and will be done things to sound totally exciting. Don't forget to add a visit to my island to party hardy aight? If I'm not tagging along on some of those adventures, you can count on me being a stowaway.
ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely going to do one post about this bucket list..great idea! Thanks and thank you for visiting my blog. I'm afraid I've been totally slagging off on my blogging so I'm going to add that to my resolution to blog more this year.
You have a beautiful family and the right outlook on life. Seems like you are pretty blessed, girlfriend!! I love your blog and am now a follower. Love your bucket list, I got a little misty seeing some of them, like keeping your father's memory alive, changing someone's life for good and witnessing a miracle. I have those same ones,and oh yes, seeing Oprah's show. We've gotta get working on it, she's not going to have her show much longer. Somehow, I think we're already too late!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!!
XoXo
Gail

Bonjour Queenie,
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful bucket list - I agree with everyone here, you will definitely check all off your list. Both your daughters are beautiful like their mother.
Merci for sharing your love story over at my blog, so sweet, 21 years - that's wonderful.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. This is what makes blogs so much fun. Visiting Hawaii is on my bucket list and I hope to dive there one day as well. Your Hawaiian jewels are lovely as well. I like your blog title as I have often told my sons that they are to treat me no differently then they would the queen as my name (Dari) is the Persian honorific for Empress. Blessings to you. Sea Witch

I stumbled across your blog today. I would LOVE to see Hawaii! If you have ever witnessed the birth of a baby, then you have witnessed the birth of a miracle! Delivering your own is amazing, but seeing one delivered is so amazing!
