When we were pulling together gifts for the Mighty Summit, we set a few aside to give away. There will be Summit giveaways on Mighty Girl all this week, but this first one is a doozy. Here’s what’s up for grabs today:

I bought a pair of these perfect ultimate travel shoes a while back, and they’re one of my new favorite things. Tieks fold in half so you can stuff them in your purse, but the quality is amazing. They come in all sorts of candy colors and metallics — plus they pack flat and slip off easily when you’re heading through airport security. The winner gets to choose any pair for $135 and under. I recommend orange.

Photojojo’s Tokyo Dreamer Strap
I can’t believe how long it took me to replace my ugly, logoed camera strap. Photojojo’s Tokyo Dreamer strap really dresses up your camera, and even has a little pocket for extra memory cards or a lens cloth.

Lola Epiphanie Camera Bag by Maile Wilson
Maile was an attendee at this year’s Summit, and she brought along her bright Epiphanie camera bags. I use mine as my everyday purse and have finally stopped busting expensive lenses and gadgets by wrapping them in hand towels and shoving them into an un-padded purse. Now I can have my SLR, my flip, and my phone(s) with me without anything banging together and cracking or getting scratched by my keys.
And that’s it for today. Pretty good, huh? To enter to win, please leave a comment about something on your Life List.
Now for the fine print: Please only leave one comment, because it’s the nice thing to do, and also because multiple entries will be disqualified. I’ll use random.org to select the winner, and I’ll announce who won at the top of this post and in a separate post next Tuesday.
This giveaway is spectacular! On my life list: to save as many abandoned and misunderstood dogs as possible through volunteering, training, and rescue.

I made a life list 10 years ago and have done almost everything on it! How crazy is that? I still haven’t ridden in a hot air ballon, but after having a kid, I had a change of heart about that one! I have added a new one in its place: Finish the book I began writing!

I crossed the first item off of my life list this summer: Ride a horse on the beach. My parents took me on a super swank vacation to Turks and Caicos where Pilgrim and I rode into the clear turquoise water until he started to swim. It was possibly the most frightening yet exhilarating experience of my life to date.

I’ve just started thinking about a life list though I have been a “what would I do if money is not object” list maker from waaaaay back. And lots of the things on those list came true so I know it works….the one most often on my mind lately is–to live for a year in a foreign country–preferrably either Mexico or France….but I’m open to other opportunities!

Regularly write, publish and distribute a zine serial about something.
A bit sillier: ever since you posted your outfit with magenta superhero boots, I’ve wanted a pair of colorful boots (preferably in teal or turquoise), preferably custom-made since I have large wide feet and fat calves. Because everyone needs to have a pair of awesome superhero boots.
Also, due to pondering my Life List (thanks to y’all) all this time, I’ve been slowly realizing with increasing strength that I really, really want to travel, perhaps somehow make a living from that. Not sure how to accomplish that yet, however (teaching English? hmm).
