It's Spanish - aren't I fancy?
Ok, so I can't really speak, read, or understand Spanish (does dos cervezas pour favor count?) but, I can Google and that's how I found out that 'Ahora o nunca' means 'Now or never' in Espanol.
I'm not really the resolution type (not that there's anything wrong with it!) because I tend to lose the tiny piece of paper (I wrangled up at 11:45 on December 31) within about 48 hours after writing them down. However, I'm having a bit of a self-diagnosed quarter-life crisis (as I call it) and as a result, a bit of a Now or Never list has started compiling itself in my head.
Why would a killer, 20 something, successful HR protege be going through a quarter-life crisis you may ask? (I know I referred to myself as killer and successful - give a girl a break!) I guess I feel that I've always done the right thing (university, career, mortgage...) and now I want to do my thing - whatever that may be.
I should really pay for therapy if I want to go on about this and not subject any wonderful readers to it anymore. By the way, have I told you lately that I love you? *
*not-so-subtle Rod Stewart reference!
Anyways, I wanted to start a blog for the longest time and finally bit the bullet and did it and am having so much fun! I guess it has made me wonder what else I can/want to do! So here it is, my Now or Never List (with pictures!)

So there it is. I am sure I will have more to add before the first item is even checked off. I don't really see this list as ever being done or achieved, more like a long game of truth or dare that never really ends...
Anything you think I definitely need to add in there?
Enjoy!

LOVE these all! I've always had a bucketlist in my head but never really written it down and especially never gotten pictures of the things to inspire me! Brilliant idea! Please add: Visit Kelsey in Vancouver WAY more often! Can't wait to see ya! xo
