I was inspired this week after meeting with a crazy guy named Todd who is known as the "One Lucky Penny Guy" He found a lucky penny on the ground and told his wife so and put it on eBay. He has received a lot of press and he hopes to trade up until he can accomplish one of his life goals, meet Jay Leno. He has successfully traded up to a Winnebago which he hopes to drive across the country while collecting people's dreams and goals in his dream book. Check out his website http://www.theoneluckypennyguy.com/ or google lucky penny guy. It is a great story and one thing he said at our meeting at Panera got me thinking, "What did you want to do with your life before kids and mortgages and work and all of life's stuff." Well I wanted to be a professional baseball player but besides that, I had lots of other dreams and goals. I have started to compile mine the last week and it has been fun. I am using a site called 43things.com and it allows you to work on your life goals. Some of mine are not going to be that hard (write to my grandma once a month, give 10 $10 bills to strangers this Christmas) some are going to be somewhat hard (move out of the suburbs, own my own boat) and some are going to be nearly impossible (write a one hit wonder, publish my own novel). Check out my goal page at http://www.43things.com/person/Goldenpaperclip and tell me what your dreams and goals are!
