101 in 1001 Days

I've seen quite a few posts floating around about completing 101 goals in 1001 days. After reading the list Kelly of Sparkles and Shoes created, I was inspired to make my own. I loved several goals on her list so much that they made their way on to mine! Some of the goals I set for myself are small items that won't take much time, others are large goals that I will need to work up to. I attempted to select 101 items that I've never done before. A couple goals on the list I've already completed but it's been awhile and I would like to do it again now.

I scheduled my list so that it ends on my 37th birthday. If you have your own list, please add a link in the comments. I'd love to check it out!

  1. I have a 101 list, and I think have some similar items :) I'm actually probably going to go back and edit it a bit since we are preparing to the move to the west coast and that may change some of my goals. I think we most likely will postpone a trip to Europe and go to Hawaii and try for Thailand instead to take advantage of being closer. Good luck!

    1. Thailand sounds wonderful! If I can, I'm going to try to get there over the next year. Good luck with your list!
