Here is my list of goals that I hope to accomplish in 1001 days. My first 101 list had many items that didn’t get crossed off. I decided to include some of them in my new list (with some revisions). My start date is March 21, 2010, and my list will end on December 17, 2012. Want to know more about 101 in 1001 and possibly add your list to the challenge? Click here. Wish me luck!

   This is such a cool idea! I have done something simular for 15 years, but making a goal to get it done within 1001 days makes it more interesting.

   You actually have a lot of the same goals as me. ) And I’ve never heard of the Gilgal Garden, so we’ll have to check that out sometime. I love yoga, and prefer going with a friend (I used to go with Iva) so if you ever want to go together sometime, let me know.
   Good luck!

   Those are some great new goals! I especially like the Hawaii and adopting a dog one. I’ve always wanted to ride an elephant and swim with dolphins, too. Wouldn’t a hot tub be great?! Good luck!
