Not what sounds impressive. Not what everyone else expects of you.What do you want?Join bestselling author Laura Carney for Bucket Listing for Beginners, an interactive workshop about intentional living, courage, authenticity, and discovering the things that genuinely matter to you.After the untimely death of her father, Laura set out to complete the unfinished items on his bucket list. Over the course of six years, that journey changed her life and ultimately led to her bestselling memoir, My Father’s List: How Living My Dad’s Dreams Set Me Free.Now Laura takes what she learned from that experience and helps others look at their own lives differently.This isn't just an author talk.Laura will lead attendees through a series of thought-provoking prompts and "dares" designed to help you look beyond the traditional idea of a bucket list.You'll have time to write, reflect and, if you choose, share some of your answers with the group.The goal isn't to create the biggest or most impressive list possible. It's to get honest about what you care about, what you may have been putting off, and what you actually want your life to look like.Your ticket includesAdmission to the interactive Bucket Listing for Beginners workshop with Laura CarneyA copy of Laura's bestselling memoir, My Father’s ListAn opportunity to have your book personally signed by LauraLight snacks and nonalcoholic refreshmentsA portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit KEEP KIDS ALIVE DRIVE 25® (KKAD25), a nonprofit dedicated to traffic safety and supporting families who have lost loved ones in traffic incidents through its Live Forward!® program and annual Pikes Peak Ascent weekend.About Laura CarneyLaura Carney is a writer, public speaker, teacher and author of the bestselling memoir My Father’s List: How Living My Dad’s Dreams Set Me Free.Her work has appeared in publications including Good Housekeeping, People, The Washington Post, Maria Shriver’s The Sunday Paper and Runner’s World.Laura's story has been featured on CBS News Sunday Morning, NPR, BBC, Tamron Hall, The Drew Barrymore Show and NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, among others.My Father’s List was named one of Real Simple's Best Books of 2023, was optioned for television, selected by Melissa Gilbert for her book club, and chosen as the 2025 One City, One Book selection by Greensboro Public Library.Why I'm bringing Laura to LittletonSometimes one person’s story can set things in motion you never could have predicted.I first discovered Laura through a television interview about My Father’s List. Her story immediately struck something in me. I bought the book, devoured it, started following her journey — and eventually saw that she was planning to come to Colorado to attempt the Pikes Peak Ascent.At the time, I was helping friends jumpstart Renoja Wellness Colorado Springs, a wellness studio focused on recovery, optimization and longevity. When I learned Laura was planning to attempt the race, I reached out and offered her complimentary services to help her prepare and recover during race weekend.That one message ended up setting off a chain of events I never expected.Laura introduced me to Tom Everson and, through him, to the Pikes Peak Ascent — a race I had never even heard of. Although Laura wasn't able to make it to Colorado that year, I got Renoja involved with the race, met Tom, experienced the event firsthand and left knowing one thing: I wanted to do it someday.The following year, Laura returned to Colorado to attempt the Ascent herself, and we finally had the chance to meet in person.Now, almost three years after I sent that first message, everything has come full circle. Laura is returning to Colorado for this year's race and KEEP KIDS ALIVE DRIVE 25 — and I'm preparing for my first Pikes Peak Ascent, running in honor of Laura's father.That journey is a big part of why I wanted to bring Laura to Littleton. Her story embodies so much of what I believe about growth: do hard things. Do things that scare you, challenge you, transform you and elevate you — and the people around you. Think big. Do big. Go big. But most importantly, keep showing up.You never really know where one decision, one introduction or one brave yes might lead.— Julie RagusaAgenda🕑: 03:00 PM - 03:25 PMDoors Open & WelcomeInfo: Arrive, check in, grab a refreshment and get settled.🕑: 03:25 PM - 03:30 PMWelcome & IntroductionInfo: Julie Ragusa welcomes guests, shares a little about what brought this event together, and introduces Laura Carney.🕑: 03:30 PM - 05:30 PMBucket Listing for Beginners with Laura CarneyInfo: Laura leads her interactive Bucket Listing for Beginners challenge, with prompts, reflection and conversation designed to help you uncover what you truly want from your life.🕑: 05:30 PM - 06:00 PMBook Signing with Laura CarneyInfo: Meet Laura and have your included copy of My Father’s List personally signed. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/littleton/bucket-listing-for-beginners-with-laura-carney/100001998653467323 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, Sports, literary-art, Workshops, Contests, Kids, health-wellness, Nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-09-17T21:00:00Z - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Creative Littleton - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 33.85, max: 33.85, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Littleton - **state**: CO - **country**: United States - **location**: Creative Littleton - **lat**: 39.6131761 - **long**: -105.0182333 - **full address**: Creative Littleton, 5730 South Curtice Street, Littleton, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Bucket Listing for Beginners with Laura Carney - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/da8aee645bef249f7301feda0d3e8eb59fb1e24fe28ae5095d870cf691086b06-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg?v=1787599877 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Bucket Listing for Beginners with Laura Carney being held? - **A:** Bucket Listing for Beginners with Laura Carney takes place on Thu, 17 Sep, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Thu, 17 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm at Creative Littleton, 5730 South Curtice Street, Littleton, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Bucket Listing for Beginners with Laura Carney? - **A:** Bucket Listing for Beginners with Laura Carney is organized by Julie Ragusa. - **Q**: Who is this event for?

She’s been a chef and photographer, produced films, owned a clothing store, created a vegan chocolate catering company while living in Europe, and founded Belgium’s first roller derby league. Today, she has built a successful career in real estate.And those are just the chapters that are easy to explain. Somewhere along the way, she also managed a bingo hall — because apparently there were still a few things she hadn't tried yet.What looks like an eclectic résumé is really just how Julie has always approached life: when something interests her, she wants to experience it. And when something matters to her, she puts her whole heart into it.Teaching and coaching have been woven through that life for years. She’s coached roller derby, taught culinary workshops and led real estate workshops. And throughout all of those very different chapters, she kept hearing the same thing from people around her:you inspire me.It took Julie a while to recognize that there might be something worth paying attention to in those words.Now, at 54, she’s training for her firstPikes Peak Ascent, continuing to build her real estate career and stepping more intentionally into coaching.There may not be a neat little box for a life like Julie’s. Good. She wouldn’t know what to do with one anyway." } ] } ] ```
