Five Tricks to Stop Making Excuses & Move Your Lazy Butt

Posted on September 11, 2014 by Lesley | 0 Comments

Since I was pregnant with Athena, over two years ago, I haven’t made the time to exercise and I’m still carrying the weight I gained during pregnancy. Frankly, I made excuses. I said things like I didn’t have time, I didn’t have a routine, I didn’t like doing it on my own… and the list goes on. Finally, I’ve stopped…

The Worst Thing In Life – I’ll Miss You Robin Williams

Posted on August 11, 2014 by Lesley | 3 Comments

We live in a sad world surrounded by people who are questioning themselves and the importance of their lives, gripped by depression. We need to reach out and provide positive encouragement, support, and love before it’s too late. I am not immune to the stresses of life. I struggle with decisions that I’ve made, the direction that I’m taking, if…

Thanks For The Memories

Today is a sad day, since this will be my last posting as a featured writer here on Bucket List Publications. Over the last few months, Bucket List readers have accompanied me on a stroll down Memory Lane, and also on a couple of new adventures. Together we’ve seen Yosemite, California, threatened by the terrible Rim Fire. This brought home…

Summiting Switzerland The Easy Way

Prior to 2011 I had not been up a mountain, at least not in living memory. But since moving to Switzerland I’ve been captivated by the Alps, Europe’s greatest mountain range. Having an insatiable hunger to experience its great peaks for myself I set out to find its most compelling vistas, with three summits in particular coming to the fore….

Life: Figuring Out Your Bucket List

Posted on September 24, 2013 by talesfromthemotherland | 6 Comments

Bucket Lists, baby! Image: pureblissyoga.ca In this, my third contribution to Bucket List Publications, I’d like to get back to personal goals, and internal journeys. For me, the Bucket List doesn’t just include exciting destinations; it’s about the entire journey: Am I a good mother/wife/friend/person on this planet? Am I happy in my life? What do I want to be…

An Expat Transformation in Switzerland

Posted on September 18, 2013 by Ben @ FlightsCamera | 5 Comments

Upon reaching the summit I looked out at the earth’s natural wonders in every direction. I couldn’t help but be inspired by the incredible landscape. The great mountain ranges of the planet serve to remind us of our place in it, how small we are in the grand scheme of things. But also about how much we can achieve when…

In the Nick of Time

You know how it is… We all think that the things on our Bucket Lists will be there forever, to be picked off when we have the time or opportunity to get around to them. But sadly, sometimes this isn’t the case. And when something we’ve always wanted to see or experience is suddenly inaccessible, or even destroyed, it can…

Featured Author: Jessica Fenton After completing my Masters in Education in 14 months, I am rewarding myself with a 14 month sabbatical from teaching to travel and to do all the things I never have time for. I look forward to exchanging my time as a teacher, student, to a traveling girl. I get anxious and excited thinking about all…

Responsible Tourism: Anyone Can Make a Difference

Featured Author: Jessica Fenton With the school year coming to an end, I know that this summer will lead to another inevitable travel journey abroad. As a teacher, I try to reach a new destination or to experience something completely different each summer. In July 2011, I landed in Lethem, Guyana, South America, to provide indigenous teachers training in the…

Letting It All Go At 12,000 Feet

Posted on June 6, 2013 by nikimianni | 3 Comments

Featured writer: Niki Mianni When I was a little girl, in Ms. Wright’s 2nd grade class, we were asked to write an essay on what animal we’d like to be for a day. Some students chose to be lions while others chose to be giraffes. A classroom full of bright-eyed second graders lost in their imaginations as they dreamed about…
