THE LIST. This list consists of 101 things I hope to accomplish in a 1001 days (approximately 2.75 years!) My list will "expire" on July 14, 2012. The list is a part of a global idea to create long-short term goals that push you to finish the things you have always wanted to do, but maybe can not get it done in one year (like New Year's goals). Hope you enjoy the list - keep up by watching the list on the blog as I cross things off the list over the next 2.75 years :) I will post pictures along with text for each item I "check off" the list!
