"Before I die, I want to........."
 
Syr sent me this video (thank you!)... i loved the project that Ms. Chang did. Being from my beloved, sad home town of New Orleans it hit home twice as much. Please take about 3 minutes to listen.


In her New Orleans neighborhood, artist and TED Fellow Candy Chang turned an abandoned house into a giant chalkboard asking a fill-in-the-blank question: “Before I die I want to ___.” Her neighbors' answers -- surprising, poignant, funny -- became an unexpected mirror for the community. (What's your answer?)

"Before I die I want to hug her one more time"
"Before I die I want to carry out my childhood plans"
"Before I die I want to be tried for piracy"

Those were a few that i remember!

So many answers were posted to her questions... i couldn't come up with just one thing to fill in the blank for myself, so as an ongoing thread maybe we can share our *Before I die I want to _________* answers. These answers are not up for debate or judgment. They are what they are, so please don't go there.

Discussion probably doesn't need to happen, just fill in the blank as often as you wish.


"Before I die, I want to _____________________"

Would you share what is #1?

isn't it funny how after you think about it, so many come to mind?

Excellent thread dee!
Before I die I would like to complete everything on my bucket list at least twice over. (It's currently a long list, and being checked off one by one)

This thread has my wheels spinning and while this is a question I think I have considered the answer to a few times, it seems like I can never make up my mind...Here is a list..for starters...not even close to done.

Before I die I want to...

- Forgive and be forgiven
- Know my youngest siblings and nephew have found love and happiness.
- Sit under a sky lit up by the Aurora Borealis
- Actually make my Abuelita's tamales by myself. (Can't bring myself to do it just yet)
- Help- not sure in what way just yet. But I want to really help and
anonymously make a difference in someone's life.
- Experience the kind of love that not even a Pablo Neruda poem can describe
- Learn how to swim :/
- Run a marathon
- Visit Serendipity
- Eat mole by Rick Bayless
- See the world :)

Loved the 'tried for piracy' one
 
Before I die, I want to figure out what the secret of life is.

Knowing me, this will happen on my death bed, if at all.
