While at times I got sick of looking at the same goals over and over again for my last 101 in 1001 list, I overall really enjoyed the format of setting 101 goals to try and meet in 1,001 days (roughly 2.75 years)—it meant that I could set more long-term, “bucket list” items than I …
Welcome to Round 29 of this little series I started of all the things in life I’m loving and learning lately!
