101 IN 1001

A few months back, I was reading a blog of an old friend. She has inspired my life in so many ways this year, that I thought I would copy this too. I started Project Zero. That means setting 101 goals, big and small and in between, all to be accomplished in 1001 days. It took me nearly 3 months to write my list, it being much more difficult than I had anticipated. Not too many of this or that, not stretching myself too thin, but making sure that it hurt just a little. The purpose is self discipline and making achievable goals. Here it is, my 101 list. Feel free to comment, come along, or make your own list. Thanks Snob, for the list idea and being there for me this year.
