Let your family and friends know of this unique idea before your get together so everyone can have plenty of reflection time. Since that's the really important part that makes this exercise so great. So Reflect...and Praise God...with Joy....Allow [me] to share a brief, but hopefully relevant, anecdote. A year ago, I was feeling similarly hungry...for something I couldn’t quite name. All I knew was that I wasn’t finding it in my friendships, my family, or my work. I wasn’t finding it in romantic relationships. I felt adrift, and I felt downright lonely.Here’s what I did: I let everybody else off the hook and decided this one was all on me. I sat down with a notepad and made a reverse bucket list. My reverse bucket list was a list of the absolute best, most soulful, most meaningful experiences I’ve had in my life thus far. Here’s the really interesting takeaway, one I think might pique your curiosity: Not only did this little exercise ground me and make me feel pretty darn grateful for the life I’ve had, the list revealed to me that most of my blissed-out, connection-rich life moments have involved travel...Maybe travel is not your soul’s currency; maybe it’s mountain-biking or writing or music. You’ll know it when you see it on your life list because, I guarantee you, your soul will say ahhhhh, too. Dive into the ahhhhh...and you might just find that this slippery question of connection becomes a moot point. And how lovely would that be?
(I do realize I used way too many capitals in the last sentence but each of those words needed lots of emphasis. And I don't presume to teach my grammar to others)
