Jan 1, 2009: My 101 Things in 1001 Days

For several years my good friend and client Melissa Jill (who by the way is an amazing photographer) has been working on a her list of 101 Things in 1001 Days.  You get the idea, right?  It’s pretty easy…think of the things that you say, “Someday I’ll do that” and then write them down and work on actually doing them.  

This is something that I have wanted to do for a while but I’ve just recently completed my list.  I’ve also called it my Life List.  Some of these won’t make it within the 1001 days I’m sure but that’s okay too!  I decided that New Year’s Day was a perfect time to kick it off.  So without further ado, here it is:
