I am sure some of you have heard about 101 in 1001 lists. Essentially it is a list of 101 things that you want to accomplish in 1001 days. Math is not my strong suit, but 1001 days is just a little less than 3 year (or 2.74 years to be exact – thank god for calculators). I decided that I needed to get some goals, wishes, and ideas down on paper so that I could start working towards them. I figured making a 101 in 1001 would be the perfect way to to do. I started to write my list, and wowzers…. 101 is A LOT. I got to 71 and decided that was enough to accomplish in 2.74 years!
So, I am excited (and a little nervous) to share today my 71 in 1001 list!
