101 things to do in 1001 Days

Start Date: January 1, 2011
End Date: September 28, 2013

I got this idea from onelovelylife.com and thought it was a fabulous way to set both long and short term goals. I'm also planning on printing a copy and hanging it somewhere visible in my apartment as a daily reminder of my goals and plan. I'm excited to start this process, tackle some nagging tasks, have adventures, and enrich my relationships with family and friends. This blog will serve as a way to track and document my progress. I will post at least something about everything I accomplish. You can calculate 1001 days from any date here.
