Before I die I want to ________


Contemplating the meaning of life
This is the coolest project. It started off as an experiment nearly two years ago in New Orleans by an artist who was contemplating the meaning of life, deciphering what truly matters. And, she wanted to know what mattered to others. So she painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint, stenciled the words “Before I die I want to _________” and invited the public to pick up a piece of chalk and jot down their personal aspirations. Cool, right?

Now there’s a bunch all over the globe, 50+ walls in over 20 countries. There’s one in sunny San Diego and when I came upon it a couple of weeks ago I felt compelled to write something. What did I write? “Before I die I want to see a cure for MS.” Naturally.

Before I die I want to see a cure for MS
If you came across this wall, what would you write? What matters most to you? I’d love to hear from you and invite you to post on my blog. Simply fill in the blank, “Before I die I want to ____________”.

Take care of yourselves and I hope all is well.

Best always,
Christie

    1. I have craters in both arms and on both thighs. I, too, would love to see these heal (read, disappear) before I die! Best, Christie
