101 IN 1001 DAYS

I came across this idea, 101 goals to be completes in 1001 days, quite a few years ago.  Since then, this idea has been circling in my mind and I thought it's about time to make it official and just put it out there!

I have always been a fan of lists.  Going to the grocery store? list.  Cleaning? list.  Packing? list...and the list goes on (ha! see what I did there?)  There is just something about making a list that keeps things organized and neat.  It's not full of you only live once type things, but also includes business goals, things I have been procrastinating and of course, a few thrown in there just for fun.  So there you have it, here's mine :)


Disclaimer: this list is not complete. For one thing, I wanted to get it down before I started checking things off it! And another, a lot can happen in nearly 3 years and I want to be open to how the Universe moves in my life and allow for new goals to be added.
