My friend Natalie has inspired me to create a list of 101 Things to complete in 1001 days. She is starting her own list today as a tribute to a dear friend she recently lost. I don't know her friend but I think it is a great idea and I would like to join her on her journey.
This is the kind of thing I love. I love the idea of self improvement. I love thinking about self improvement. But mostly I just think about self improvement and fall through on the implementation. Hopefully this will be an exception. Maybe being accountable to cyberspace will help. That is why the first task on my 101 list is to make a blog. I have always wanted to but chances are this will be the only time I write in it. I guess we will find out together.
