I was inspired by Jon Wilkening to create my very own Impossible List. This is not a To Do list, but rather a series of challenges. My way of standing on top of the mountain and screaming out with my soul about all the things I am drawn to do. The crazier and more impossible the better.

“Listen to the mustn'ts, child.
Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts.
Listen to the never haves,
then listen close to me...
Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.” 
― Shel Silverstein
