As I mentioned in my description, I created this blog in order to share my 140 before 2014 list, a list that is currently in the making (aka I'm still adding to it) and may very well end up being more than 140 things!
The idea is simple. Everyone tells themselves that they're going to learn to do this or they're going to read that or reach this goal or visit this place or the find the perfect [ ], etc. This year, as part of a resolution I made to myself, I created a list that I see on a regular basis in the hopes that it would encourage me to actually do all of these things that I want to do, and it's been working!
Some of these are simple, some of these are challenging, some might make you laugh and some might make you shake your head at me, but say what you will I'm finally doing all the things I told myself I would a long time ago.
Whether this inspires you to create something similar of your own or if you just want to keep up to date with me, I hope you enjoy the blog!
