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.
