JulieJordanScott is continually setting odd goals that need translation for many people

This is hilarious! 3 weeks ago

I have been in Dana Point TWICE in October and did I think of doing this?

An embarassed NO would be the answer. No. :-(

SOON!

(this can’t be like the kissing under a waterfall goal, it can’t!)

I think I will take a bottle to the beach 1 month ago

in Dana Point. I don’t think I will throw it out to sea… I worry it will just go out into oblivion. I want someone to find it.

Is this wrong?

Do I throw it into the sea at my feet, so I can say I have done it, scoop it out, and put it on the beach?

Perhaps this is what I will do….

Put a message in a bottle and throw it out to sea 2 months ago

Because I’m prejudiced against glass. And literature.

Finally! 3 months ago

Finally, I took the time to do this! When we were at the beach this year, I left a SoBe bottle with a note inside, just little bits and pieces of advice. I signed it, simply, “Find meaning. 43things.”

I decided not to actually throw it “out to sea,” because the ocean was really rough that day and I didn’t want it to break. (Plus, I wanted it to be found for sure.) ;-)

Wow, I can’t believe it took me this long. It was one of my original goals, back when I first started up. It felt good to finally do it.



Message in the water 3 months ago

I wrote a message and threw it in the sea, the message wasn’t written in ink but rather thought about and then I scattered flowers in the white surf as a happy birthday to my deceased brother… I flew to Thailand to live out my dream and this was a thank you and I miss you to him right on that gorgeous beach in Phuket!

And the message is... 5 months ago

I wrote my message- nope, you’ll have to find the bottle.

Ummm... I forgot I live in Arizona 5 months ago

It could be a long time before I get to any body of water, so I’m going to ready the note & bottle and send it down the canal- large water system bound to end up somewhere.

Could this finally happen!? 6 months ago

Bottle was found.
Note was written and put into bottle including contact info.
Small/silly gift was added.
Trip to the beach is planned!

This could be the time! :D

(the picture is of the bottle… in the very bottom you can see a little plastic ninja that is the silly gift)



when...? 6 months ago

I am going to the beach this summer but I won’t be on any boats or anything so I don’t know when I would throw it out to sea. I am just going to the gulf of mexico so I would not want to just throw it a few feet into the ocean…. maybe I’ll throw it in a river. I am not an environmentalist but I do hate to litter like this.
