It all started with a list.
At thirty-two, I was done waiting. Done waiting to lose weight before I wear the dress.
Done waiting to feel confident before I take the risk.
Done waiting for permission. So I made a bucket list of bold, slightly terrifying challenges - and instead of easing in gently, I started at the top. Pole dancing.
Blogging.
Cooking lessons with a very distracting Italian chef.
Art classes that escalated quickly.
A marathon.
And one motel pool that probably should have remained off-limits. Finding a leotard that fits? Humbling.
Public humiliation involving wine? Memorable.
Running 26.2 miles? Questionable decision-making. I was absolutely certain I'd be the biggest, most awkward woman in every room. What I didn't expect was to discover how strong - and fearless - I might already be. Because confidence doesn't come from shrinking. It comes from showing up. This collection includes the first six complete bucket list adventures in the Single Wide Female series - funny, feel-good short reads about courage, chaos, and living life wide open. And maybe... just maybe... the spark you need to start your own list. This collection includes the following: #1 Learn Pole Dancing
#2 Start a Blog
#3 Learn to Cook
#4 Create a Masterpiece
#5 Run a Marathon
