101 in 1001

Ever heard of 101 in 1001? When I first read about it, I immediately knew that this was the perfect thing for the (tiny bit crazy) planner in me. Basically, in 1,001 days, you set out to achieve 101 goals. The process works like a progressive bucket list to help keep your eye on the prize of living your dreams a little at a time. Join me as I start the next 1,001 days. 

P.S. There's going to be a lot happening :)
