101 in 1001

New Year. New Dreams. New Goals. I love the energy and refreshing feel of New Year’s Day and this year I’ve decided to shake things up.  Instead of making resolutions for 2015, I’ve decided to create a list of 101 things I’d like to complete in the next 1,001 days.  Setting 101 goals in 1,001 days, is the perfect way to set the course for my future adventures and still enjoy the moments as they unfold.  More than anything… I want to live life to the fullest, enjoy my little family and savor the friendships that continue to grow with me…

So here it starts!  I’ll be updating my blog with personal posts as I hopefully cross of each item on my list.  What better way to hold myself accountable, then to share my experiences with all of you as the days go by. If you think you’d like to help me cross something off my list, then by all means email me- I’d be more than happy to have you join me:)))
