Leilani's 30 before 30 list

While flying through the air Jyoti and Leilani became quick friends discussing life and different trapeze tricks. One day while working on our trampoline back-flips, the two were discussing them nearing the big 3-0 to which Jyoti explained her 30 before 30 to which Leilani responded enthusiastically, wanting to join. And so it goes, a third joins the journey of completely their 30 before 30’s.

* Note: I have about ten other items on a waitlist for these last three spots, but as I cannot choose from them and also feel like I’ll have some epiphany or someone will have a great idea of what one of these list items should be I am going to open it to suggestions and ideas and will decide a bit down the road. Here’s to 30 before 30
