An Updated 101 in 1001

Santa Monica, CA

Bonsoir, Everyone!

Over a year ago (gasp) I published my original 101 in 1001 list of tasks to compete/achieve over the course of, as the very title states, 1001 days. But as you all know very well… a fair bit of our lives can change during just a single year, and so, here we are with a very-very similar but not-quite-the-same updated checklist of goals. Yay!

Though at this time I wholly intend for this to be the final draft of my 101 in 1001, who knows, perhaps another version will surface before the finish date of April 3, 2018… I wonder where I’ll be then. At the moment it seems oh-so far away but then again, 2017 is nearly upon us. Crazy-ness.

Okay, okay, list time!

Start Date: July 7, 2015

Finish Date: April 3, 2018

Tasks Completed: 84/101 (Bold + = Completed)
