Thoughts: 101 in 1001 Days


I am a goal setter and list maker so naturally, when I found out about the 101 things in 1001 days it was the perfect bucket list for me for 2 major reasons:  a.It limits me to only 101 things (yes, I have probably another 101 things I could add, thats the over achiever in me ;) & b. It gives me a solid timeline - win, win! I will update my list under the tab above as I check items off and I will most definitely be blogging about each item as well.
