What have you planned to accomplish during your fabulous fifties? Going to work, taking care of the family, taking care of yourself, etc. are not enough. Add sparkle and a dash of flavor to your life by creating a Fabulously Fifty Bucket List and add all of the awesome things that you will accomplish during your fabulous fifties. Think about your dreams, goals, aspirations, and desires and start writing! Make your bucket list the bucket list of all bucket lists! Consider including short and long-term goals, things that are fun, spiritual, dazzling, breathtaking, spunky, exciting, and of course, all about you as a fabulously fifty woman of color. Dare yourself to do something so awesome that you will be blown away by its essence. To add variety to your bucket list, include personal and professional goals.
Your list could include any of the following, among other things:

The following are a few items on my Fabulously Fifty Bucket List:
