36 goals in 365 days...

I was reading a friends blog... and of course was lead to one of her friends blog and in following this trail I've been inspired!

These women gave themselves 101 goals to complete in 1001 days. Whether or not they achieved all 101 goals on their list they did accomplish many awesome things that they were working towards in their families, businesses, personal and spiritual enrichment and many other areas. And in achieving these goals their lives were enriched!

Alot has been happening in my personal life over the past month and a half and I think that setting goals to achieve over time is an inspiring feat! So inspiring in fact that I and going to jump on the wagon!

One of the best things I did was make a binder of my favorite recipes. I love to buy cookbooks from DI, try the recipes, adn the ones I like, I literally RIP them right out of the cookbook and throw the book away. Its so nice to have one binder with all of them. Its still an ongoing process. Good luck!

Lots of great goals there! I'd recommend you read the fiction book "The Next Thing On My List" as it will further inspire!

Awesome, Jenn!!! There are some really amazing goals. But not be stressed for a week? Is that possible? Not in my house!! The SLR photography class sounds great, I would love that. I want to know what it's like when you're done. Oh, and you'll need to share the wealth on these family recipes! I have started a recipe notebook and it's so scarce!! I need more great recipes! You're awesome, love the goals. Enjoy the rest of your 20's! I only have a few more weeks and I'll be in my late 20's!! Yikes! :)
