*Reposted from former blog. Originally published on August 8, 2010. This list has been formulating in my mind for quite some time now. 101 goals that have to be completed in 1001 days. One thing about me is that I’m great at making lists, I even make lists of things I need to make lists of. Crazy! And I’m always finding pieces of scrap paper – lists – floating around. But the 101 in 1001 lists keep popping up and I love the idea behind it so here’s mine. It’s not full of “you only live once” type of things (that’s for another list…), but it also includes business goals, things I’ve been procrastinating, and stuff thrown in for fun. Disclaimer: this list is not complete. For one thing, I wanted to get it down before I started checking things off it! And another, a lot can happen in nearly 3 years and I want to be open to how God moves in my life and allow for new goals to be added.
