Well, it's similar in the sense of it's a to-do list of things you want to accomplish, but there's a specified end date. I like this terminology a lot better than a "bucket-list", mainly because it's a little less morbid. So here it is, a list of things I'd like to accomplish while I'm alive... more specifically in the next 1,001 days (roughly 2.75 years). Some are goals that I have for myself, some are challenges that close friends have suggested, and some are ideas that came about when I prayed and asked God to dream for me. It's quite an eclectic list, but then again, I'm quite an eclectic person!
My friend Jennilea who introduced me to the Day Zero list challenged me to blog about each of the items as I cross them off, so I'm going to try my hardest to do so. Here we go, from September 1, 2016 to May 30, 2019...
