Because Goddess Superheroes wear their big girl panties on the outside.
Me & two of my goddess sisters… Goddess Sone & Goddess Nixie!!!
Hola gorgeous Goddess!
So my darling goddess sister Marissa wrote a post.
One that I keep thinking about.
It’s called:
I Don’t Want To Run A Marathon.
And it’s all about how she had on her life list that she wanted to run a marathon.
But the thing is?
She hates running.
She wants to like it.
But, you know – she just doesn’t.
I hear you sister, I really do.
I would LOVE to be a runner.
But I’m not.
I’m a crazy dancer. An occasional kite-flyer. A newbie Zumbaite.
An occasional frolicker.
But a runner?
Oh.no.not.at.all.
Anyways, Goddess Marissa took a big fat red pen to her Life List & cut out all the dreams that really didn’t make her sing. That didn’t feel like a good idea anymore. That felt more like a should than a want.
I was so flipping inspired, I did the same thing.
I want my Goddess Life List to be organic. Constantly growing and changing and shifting.
So I’ve now made a supplementary list:
The Things I Thought I Might Like To Do But I Don’t Think I Do Anymore And That’s Totally Perfect List!
AND I went the double-whammy of happy-optimisation, and added a
The Things I Have Done And They Were Ding Dang Fun List!
Because let’s face it. I’ve done some pretty flipping extraordinary things. And I want to celebrate how flipping awesome fun my life has always been.
You can check out all my lists here.
YIPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!
And this is the part where I tell you to ninja-chop out all the stuff that doesn’t belong on your Goddess Life List anymore.
But you totally already knew that anyway.
And maybe you will.
Maybe you won’t.
Maybe your Life List is perfect as it is.
Just like you are.
That’s all I wanted to say, dearest.
You don’t need to change who you are to be a Goddess.
Over & out, hottiecakes!

I recently took “run a marathon” off my “To-Do” list. I read her article awhile back & finally decided that I really wasn’t going to pursue it. It’s just not me. Each day however, I AM learning what kinds of things ARE me; and I love it!
Oh Loney, you is so clever
I guess its a bit like the bucket list….like what would I feel really craptastic about NOT chasing after when I’m uber-wrinkly and facing the great unknown? Maybe?
And wanted to add…do do do do (cue twilight zone music), seriously, today I was ‘passing-on’ some out-grown clothes that I had in a big storage bin and found not only the semi-famous pants PG gave me but, YES, my boggers!!!! And I got to re-tell the bogger-meaning story and I am not really all that surprised that you picked up on that and have posted that pic!!!! Love you sis
Um, just wanted to add, that I have not actually outgrown my boggers, true dat!!!!
LOL, I call those granny panties–the most comfortable kind. It’s funny how things we think we ought to do end up on our life’s list as if we really wanted to do them. Yay for the red marker.
There are so many things that we think we “should” do but won’t really help us in our end goals and also don’t add to our “joy factor”. I love crossing those things out. It feels freeing – kind of like when we are decluttering our homes. Releasing what truly does not belong anymore gives room for what truly needs to be there.
Blessings ♥,
