I’ve put together a list of 101 things I want to do in the next 1001 days. I think this list will actually help me to do the things I’ve always wanted to do. I love being able to cross things off lists, so that’s why I wanted to list everything here.
I could have waited to start at the first of the year, but I figure why not start today?
Here we go! Let’s see how it goes!
Start date: December 21, 2011
End date: September 17th, 2014

Hi Erin,
I found your blog a few days ago when I was looking for reviews for the LiveFit trainer program (I’m starting that next week by the way). I really enjoyed your 101 in 1001 list. I noticed in your travel section you want to go on a cruise and visit South Carolina. Well, I live in South Carolina and have a great suggestion! Carnival has a cruise that sails out of Charleston, SC and goes to the Bahamas and Key West. You could spend a few days before or after your cruise exploring Charleston, which is a fantastic city for your introduction to SC! Have a great new year, and good luck with your list.
First off, thanks for visiting my blog and best of luck on the LiveFit trainer!!!
We actually just planned a cruise to the Bahamas so that will knock off my cruise goal. We were super close to picking the one that left from SC but decided against it. I’ll have to look into a cruise out of Charleston for my next one (if I like it, of course!!) Thanks so much for the advice!!! Happy new year Noelle!
I think you can cross off inspire someone else, i now have made a list as well. my list is 60 long as i have done alot that is on your list…thanks!
Awesome!!! Thanks Kelly!! 🙂
I just wanted to let you know that I made my own list of 101 goals to accomplish in 1001 days. Thanks for your inspiration! I can’t wait to get started on my list. 🙂
Love, love your list!!! So glad I stumbled upon it and you!! You hit #101 again because I’ll be writing up my goals, thank you for your inspiration! Good luck on the rest of your list!!!
