I know a lot of you ladies love checklists right?   I'm all about a good checklist myself - the more checked the better right?   But, I recently read a great book - The Checklist Life - Breaking Free from a Life of Obligations - and it made me stop to think about how much of my life has been planned from that mentality.   Meaning, the idea that x-y-z needs to be accomplished in order to "do it rig...

For myse...
