My 101/1001 project.

I can't believe I have a blog...I never thought I would! I am not a good writer...especially when it comes to sharing my inner thoughts!!

I have decided to start the http://dayzeroproject.com/ Project.
It took me almost 3 weeks to come up with my 101 list of things to accomplish....It sounded easier than it was.

The inspiration to do all of this was provided by an old friend of mine, Mandy! Thanks by the way!!

The only rules that I have are that I must blog about my achievement once it’s done and I have the right to remove and replace TEN goals at any time I wish.

Start date: October 21st, 2010

End date: July 19th, 2013
