101 in 1001

via
This year instead of a New Year's Resolution or a list of goals,
I've decided to make a list of 101 in 1001.
I've seen them on quite a few blogs &
 thought it was a great way to achieve goals in a more timely manner.

It will be challenging, fun and most of all help me grow as a person
 & I can't wait to get started!
