squeakyvalkyrie Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Today I started thinking about my epic quest. I like leveling up in the Academy, but getting my fitness and nutrition together is just one part of who I want to be. So I made a list of all the things I have always wanted to do or thought I would one day do. Write a novel Publish a book of kitting patterns Visit Costa Rica Visit New Zealand Become a Pelican (highest service award in the SCA) Become a Laurel (highest art/science award in the SCA) Have a small farm that produces 50%+ of my family's food Be in shape Work from home and/or be self-employed Play an instrurment Visit Egypt Visit Japan Visit India Visit Machu Picchu Visit the iconic "thing" in a major city in every state Write and illustrate a children's book about a dachshund Go on a cruise Hike the John Muir trail See the Northern Lights Hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon See all the Great Lakes Swim in every ocean Attend Pennsic (large SCA event in Pennsylvania) while reigning (as princess or queen) Own a house Get my Master's Degree I found that there are some things that I have already accomplished. Visit Africa See Niagara Falls Graduate from college Next up: Organize list, define vague items, and assign xp points Afterward: Breakdown into smaller steps. 2 Quote halfling rogue ⋆ level 4 my challenges: 1 2 3 4 5 6 ⋆ my character ⋆ my quest when it rains, look for rainbows; when it is dark, look for stars Link to comment
