I am on a new quest, inspired by a new friend, Jacquelien. She decided she needed to upgrade what she wanted in her life, so she made a list of 101 Desires in 1001 Days. Sounds a little risqué, doesn’t it? It’s not (well, neither for her nor me). Instead, it’s a fun way to get clear what you’re up to for the next 2 to 3 years. On her list? A new home, parasailing…
And on mine? Well, I said we should meet to parasail because it’s been on my list for quite some time. And skiing. For a couple of years going to Ski College in Park City, UT has been on my list. This year I’m adding a new goal: ski Switzerland at least 14 days in each of the next two ski seasons.
We were just in Portes du Soleil with our friend, Amy. One thing I loved about skiing there was that if you’re not careful with the trail/run signs, you’ll wind up across the French border without your passport! HA! That just cracked me up. There were mid-mountain restaurants where you could get steaming Nutella crepes, All ski resorts should have those, don’t you think?
It was a beautiful day, and the place lived up to its name — look at all that sun!
I’ll share more of the list as it develops. What would be on your 101 Desires in 1001 Days?

To be you!!!!!

Well, Mom… just wait til you see what I made for your birthday yesterday. It’s uploading and will be live on the Internet in no time. Happy belated Birthday from Jordan!
Crepes on the mountain? Drooling.
Yes, Alexis, the crepes are made on the same big, dark, flat, round griddles they use on the streets of Paris and there was a dedicated crepe-making man there with all the usual fillings. Right there mid-mountain. Yum.
Skiing is always a lot of fun! Traveling from one country to another on skis is lovely
Enjoy.
On my “desires” list:
1. Go bobsledding
2. Get married again
3. See the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympic Games
What a strange list that is! Number #2 is radical, have no idea why I wrote that! But there it is! Miss you!
Beth, What a great list. Here are a few more on mine:
* parasail in Switzerland
* Have a place that feels like HOME again.
(My current apartment has never felt that way.)
* Publish at least three or four books.
* Amplify the impact of the European Summit — take it from a weekend of life-altering inspiration to producing life-altering, tangible results all over the world.
Miss you too… esp. our coffee/writing dates filled with laughter. Thanks so much for writing here!
So funny because your apartment does feel like “home” to me.
Isn’t that odd? When I cannot sleep I count the steps it takes me to get the collar on the dog, walk out the door, close the gate, and head to the path that goes past the “Chicken Man’s Garden”. I go to sleep before I get to the soccer fields!
