A 50 before 50 list is such a great idea - why not have one at every decade :)<br /><br />Traci, hope you enjoy it!<br /><br />Bellezza, it was a good book about the values of friendship and I'm still adding things to my 40 before 40 list. <br /><br />Tamara, that is ace! You must have felt great turning 40 and having crossed everything off that list - awesome!<br /><br />Booksynyc, yes! Make a list - it is so much fun. Really gives you an idea about the things that you want to accomplish in life - like what you find value in (travel, love, adventure, etc.).<br /><br />Andrea, glad you are enjoying the book! And, so glad you are writing your own list now :)<br /><br />Wallace, its a fun read.

It was just such a fun read and really made me step back and re-evaluate my own life. And the 40 before 40 list idea came from a friend of mine who posted hers on her blog and well, it just made me think about all of the things I want and I figured I should make a list and aim for accomplishing them before I turn 40. The list is still in progress, so I'll let you know what makes the cut later on.<br /><br />Steph, I saw your blog on the tour list and was excited to see it on there. I can't wait to read what you think of this book. I really enjoyed reading about the places they visited, makes me wonder about how I go about choosing the places I visit - I tend to go for comfort.<br />Hope you like the book!<br /><br />Sheila, I read your post and loved it! I love the way you highlight how these women had already achieved so much, so they weren't just layabouts deciding to travel around the world on a whim because they had nothing to do. No, they were women who were willing to sacrifice their careers and relationships and go a on journey that would help them discover who they really are. And, yeah, I figured 40 before 40 since I'm turning 33 this year and think that 7 years should be a enough time to work on that list.Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315207186180201488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-73994091754432267742011-04-27T17:48:48.017-04:002011-04-27T17:48:48.017-04:00Awesome review!
