day zero

Stephanie from The Raspberry Branch posted about her 101 goals in 1001 days and I was inspired to create my own. I headed on over to the website for the Day Zero Project and after a lot of thought, I created a list of things that I thought I would be able to accomplish in approximately 2.75 years. Some of the things on my list are silly things I'd like to own, some are places I'd like to visit, and some are experiences. There's nothing about traveling to 14 different places because realistically I know I won't be able to accomplish those. Summers are only so long, you know?
