100 Things List


100 Things


On August 18th 2011, I published my 100 Things I want to do list. Although I have not conquered much of the list, I am pleased to say I have crossed off 11 things and the next couple of months should see a few more gone hopefully!
Unfortunately though, some of my priorities have changed (had to change) over the past months so there have been a few edits.  It doesn't make me happy to give up on my dreams but...I will have to make new ones...

Here's to another year and to taking chances!
