The Original Post 

I have been wanting to take part in the “101 in 1001″ challenge for such a long time and today I finally took the time to sit down and write my list! The idea of this challenge is to come up with 101 things that you want to accomplish in the next 1001 days (roughly 2.75 years). I love making lists….whenever I have something I want to accomplish written down I am always more likely to stick with it and actually do it!
