The Journey Begins

Hi there!

My name is Emma and I’m a high school teacher. I love my job, but I have a little secret…

…I’m bored.

Over the past few years I have found myself  falling into a slump where I do the same things day in, day out and I hate it. I’m feeling under challenged and under stimulated, so one night over a glass of wine I started creating a bucket list of things I want to do and see and experience in life and…

…and then nothing. I put it aside and didn’t do anything with it. How silly is that?

In any case, while I was cleaning my home one morning I stumbled across my list and had an epiphany – I am going to try and achieve as much of my bucket list as possible. I also decided that a public blog would also be a great way to hold myself accountable, because we all know how it goes right? You make a decision and you work hard at it for a day, a week, maybe a month, then the flame s fizzle out and you forget your goals. In other words.

I don’t want to give up this time. I want to live my best life and not loose myself in the dense jungle of my anxiety and fear. I want stories to tell and experiences to share. So here goes nothing.

You can find a copy of my bucket list here.

I look forward to sharing my journey with you.
