Why Should I Have the World?

I recently published a posted called Independently Wealthy, Right? that reflected on how I got to where I am today and why I think I should win the Biggest Baddest Bucket List contest with My Destination.  With several hundred comments and personal emails, I thought a similar post would be the best way to wrap up my entry in the contest and encourage voting one last time. I’m currently in 3rd place with several great entries gaining on me and only two days left to vote. The top five entries with the most votes go on to the next round in London, England to meet the judges. I’m still confident that I can make it… with your help. What will I win? A trip around the world and $50,000 cash!

Where Are You From? With Just One Little Click… The World!

Do we have the world covered with your vote? I’ve been thinking about the support that I’ve received in the Biggest, Baddest Bucket List contest and which countries are represented in the 23,424 votes. This is for a trip around the world and $50,000. Your support has been overwhelming and I feel even more capable of accomplishing the impossible. We all can!

It couldn’t be any easier! I’d like to know where the voters live, though. Are you from UK? Canada? USA? Do I have votes from Australia? It would be amazing to see represents from around the world. So… after you vote, or vote again, share a comment below with the name of your country. Lets see if I have 10 countries today!

Then, I started blogging. It was the accumulation of all of my dreams come true.

For the last two months, I’ve been posting about The Biggest, Baddest Bucket List contest; after all, no contest exists that is more fitting for Bucket List Publications. Following my dreams of traveling and experiencing life to the fullest has taught me that the world is full of endless possibilities and Bucket List Publications is the accumulation of all of my wildest dreams come true. The Biggest Baddest Bucket List contest, though, is like my bucket list on steroids. With only 9 days left to vote, I’m currently in 1st place for a trip around the world and $50,000! I’m going to win… with your help. 

What’s Your Greatest Desire?

Daily I think about my greatest desires. What if we lived a life without restrictions? With unlimited funds, time, resources…. What would you do tomorrow? How would you spend your day? That’s how I try to spend each day. I find out what I want the most and figure out how to make it happen. That’s what life is all about. We are all capable.

My Around the World Plan

My philosophy: the more unrealistic I am with my dreams and goals, the more I’m able to achieve. Since entering the Biggest, Baddest Bucket List contest, I’ve been dreaming about touring around the world and exploring new countries, cultures, and adventures. At first, I didn’t think I’d even enter the contest because I have a new baby, a new home, and we’re living in a new state, and country, but I realized that anything is possible. Trying to win the contest will teach Athena that we don’t have to live a life with restrictions.

Ultimate Life Bucket List

Some people create a bucket list because they are dying; I created one because I
want to live!

What’s on your bucket list? You can submit your bucket list or your bucket list adventures to Bucket List Publications or info@bucketlistpublications.com for publication. Share your goals and find inspiration in the accomplishments of others.

The more unrealistic we are with our dreams and goals, the more we’re able to achieve!

My life list is ever-changing, always growing; that’s why I create a yearly list. My 2012 Bucket List included things like fly a jetpack, swim with whale sharks, experience aerobatics in a biplane, and delivery my baby girl.  My 2013 Bucket List is well under way; there are 50 items on this year’s list so I have a fun year ahead.

Overall, these are the things I’d like to accomplish in my life. I usually choose from these each year and add new ones as I see fit.

Making Bucket List Dreams a Reality

In the last year, I made 8 bucket list dreams come true for my readers. Skydiving, heli-skiing, piloting a helicopter, driving a NASCAR, riding in a limo, enjoying a spa day, touring wine country, and attending a ballet were all items on the bucket lists of my readers. I found ways to sponsor them or offer their dreams for free. All they needed to do was show up and live a bucket list dream day. This year I hope to do the same for at least 5 more readers. It’s one of the greatest feelings in the world to be able to help others accomplish their dreams. It’s amazing how much what you can do for others actually does for you.

Some people create a bucket list because they are dying, I created one because I want to live! 

Six months, six continents, ALL EXPENSES PAID, my choice of destinations, and $50,000 cash when I return. Does it get any better than that?

With 30 days until entries close, I am currently in 2nd place in My Destination’s Biggest, Baddest Bucket List! There is a lot of contest left though and I’d like to remain at the top of the pack going into the next round. I’ve been working hard to maintain my status, gaining interviews with the Cape Breton Post and the Halifax Herald, but I still need your regular votes.

If you’ve been following along for a while, you know my motto: the more unrealistic I am with my dreams and goals, the more I’m able to achieve. Who would have thought that I would have the opportunity to travel around the world this year? This is my chance.

For those of you that don’t know me as well, you can learn a little bit more about me here.

This contest won’t just change my year, it will change my life. Gaining followers, friends, and support during my travels will bring the world to my doorstep.

I recently added to my video to give a deeper look into my Fiji experience. Check it out here:

Happy Clicking! My Biggest Baddest Bucket List

My Destination’s Biggest Baddest Bucket List contest is well under way. With 2364 votes, I’m currently in second place, but I’m hopeful. I realize that the top five with the most votes go on to the next round but I’m not satisfied with second place. Does that fit with my philosophy the more unrealistic I am with my dreams and goals the more I’m able to achieve? I don’t think so! Some people create a bucket list because they are dying; I created one because I want to live. This contest will change my life in ways that I didn’t even imagine possible. It’s the ultimate contest in dreaming.

Here’s the deal:

I can win a six month, six continent, all expenses paid trip; oh and don’t forget the $50,000 when I get back! Travel and adventure encompass my life. It is as much a part of me as family and friends. I was born for this competition. You have been following my adventures and many of you have become like family. Now, I need your great social media skills at their finest.

You can find my entry here:  http://www.mydestination.com/users/lesley/bbb#tab

I can win with your help. I need people to like it on Facebook, Tweet it, Google +1 it, Stumble it, and pin it on Pinterest. Each click counts as a new vote. I’ve shared it with my community and they’ve responded with great enthusiasm. I recently had an interview with the Cape Breton Post and The Halifax Herald. This is the Cape Breton Post interview; watch for The Halifax Herald interview to appear soon.
