The Bucket List

Before you kick the bucket, what's the list you've conjured up to accomplish?

I've never really put much thought into this question. Perhaps, because, the issue of mortality has never really been a huge deal with me. That may sound pretentious or thoughtless, but as someone living for Christ, my thoughts on dying differ wildly from many.

However, when I think of a bucket list, and everything it entails, I think of it in terms as goals and possible dreams. I see the positive - the glass half full.

So, looking at it like that, I've always had a bucket list - just under a different name.

In no particular order and off the cuff, these would top my bucket list:

* Eat a pizza slice in New York City
* Visit Hobbiton in New Zealand
* Learn another language fluently
* Be an extra on a feature film
* Spend a week's vacation at DisneyWorld
* Kayak in the ocean
* Win an Oscar for writing
* Buy a tiny home or an RV and travel cross country
* Spend a Christmas in a snowy cabin/cottage setting
* White river rafting in the Grand Canyon
* Kiss in the rain

 Okay that last one was more a wish from watching way too many romantic comedies, but still...a girl can dream, can't she?

What's on your bucket list? Go on and share it!

Sincerely,
Tiff

Flavor of my Life: A Chocolate Lover's Confession

Chocolate? Vanilla? Strawberry? Those three flavors are the basis for any great dessert - especially ice cream. But if you really want to tickle my taste buds, combining the power of peanut butter with chocolate is near heavenly. When I asked my class of children (ranging from ages 7 - 12) what their favorite ice cream flavors were, the answers varied, but were surprisingly traditional. When they asked me the same question, without hesitation, I replied with my heavenly duo. Their response? Groans of disgust. I was a little surprised at their lack of imagination - them being kids and all. However, it makes sense when you think of their ever-growing palette. Heck, I'm still picky and in my thirties. But chocolate and peanut butter?! Mmm. Yes, I am writing an entire post about chocolate and peanut butter. In fact, I'll share a recent find of 20 mind-blowing recipes of the all-too-perfect flavor combo. One of my favorite places to go and enjoy these two flavors toget...

Rainy Days Are The Best....

We recently had a couple of rainy days. In fact, as I write this now, the skies are overcast and the temperature cool. It's a rare change for this Southern California girl. Lovin' it! So, as I think about the upcoming weather changes and the holidays that come with it, I also think about the perfect ideas for those rainy days. Here are some of my favorites for those days that come far too rarely and stay far too short. Favorite Rainy Day Film © 2005 - Focus Features Pride & Prejudice is a great movie for those days when it's pouring outside and you're curled up on the couch in your favorite pajamas. The classic love story washes and cleanses your cynical soul from the realities that may surround you. Or is that just because I'm single? Regardless, with its beautiful cinematography and flawless acting by all those cast; Pride & Prejudice is the ultimate go-to for those cozy days spent lying on the couch with absolutely nothing t...

Commitment in Helplessness

Image credit: Ben Hall It's the age-old question: Why do bad things happen to good people? In times of helplessness, it's easy to look around and ask where God is in all of this. We often question why things happen to good people while bad people get away with stuff. That kind of fruitless thinking will certainly drive you mad! God is not a respecter of persons. He does not play favorites; he does not show favortism. Instead of focusing on the negatives that you come across or the injustice in the world, focus and rely on Him. It may be difficult when that's all you really can do, but ultimately He'll direct your path and you'll be rewarded when you seek Him - in total trust and abandonment. A portion of scripture I've come to really love and understand is Psalm 10. It asks all the questions one does in times of helplessness, reveals the injustices of this world, and then flips everything around and looks to the Lord with praise and a cry for help -...
