The List

So what is the list, well, I’ll be honest, it’s certainly not my idea.  My good friend Shane, who has a blog over here, was talking about the idea creating a set of goals to keep him motivated for a longer term.  He spoke to me about a list of 101 things to complete in 1001 days.  I was immediately intrigued.  I did a little reading around and discovered a whole world of 101 lists out there, dealing with everything from health, to finance, to spirituality… just about everything.

So, I created MY list base a little on all those things.

I am going to make the assumption that if you are reading the list you have already read a little about me, either from a post I created in my blog, or from my About Me page.  If not, check that out over here. It’s nothing special, but gives you a little information on what I am about, where I have been and what I hope to get out of this blog.
