I recently learned about the 101 in 1001 list. I love the idea as I am a list person. The idea is that I will complete these 101 items within 1001 days. Some are easy, some are not. I began this on Feb 1st and just completed compiling the list today. The items in light blue are in progress. The items in orange are complete as of today. A few won't make much sense to you, but rest assured that I know what they mean. Many are related to cleaning the house since I do so poorly at it. I also tried to think of any incomplete projects that need to be finished. Additionally, I drink far too much soda and my goal is to stop all together. I have gained a lot of weight recently and soda is the last major dietary problem I have been holding on to. If you are curious about any, ask and I will tell you more.

Great list! Good luck!
OH MY GOSH! You are the woman! I want to be you! My mom once told me that if you write a list like that and read it every day, and read your book of mormon that day, you will accomplish nearly everything on that list! Go for it. I tried it, and was amazed at how many miracles fell from the sky!
Thanks for the inspiration, my good friend!
Good luck with the list. I'm a list maker too...so much so that I write them on scraps of paper that I usually misplace:(
