I read somewhere......."that only 4% of Americans write down their goals? And the people who do write down their goals make 9 times more money than those who don't write down their goals at all"
So to celebrate entering my 30's today, I've decided to create a list of goals or bucket list of sorts.
So to celebrate entering my 30's today, I've decided to create a list of goals or bucket list of sorts.
I'm taking on the 101 in 1001 challenge.

This is so awesome Christa, it seems like I write lists everyday but they stress me out more then anything. I think i'll actually do this...even if half of my goals seem like alot of work. :)
HOLY CRAP...K, follow me here:
I WAS going to write how INSPIRING you are to me, how you make me want to do more and be more.... all this while admitting I read 'most' of the 101 goals.
THEN, I read your other comments and realized that inspiring someone was on the list.
SO, I completely agree that you really need to cross this one off the list girl, cuz YOU got me totally inspired!
Keep up your GREAT work Christa...I'm SO proud of you and can't wait to meet you!
HUGS to you for being SO motivated!!! You will go far my dear!
You are all so awesome and so supportive!!! I love you all :)
@Joann: I just might be taking you up on that NYC offer
@Jen: don't get stressed, you'll feel awesome as you chekc stuff off
@Tara: Thanks...you're so encouraging. Looking forward to meeting you too!
I love your list! It has some adventure, but it's not off the wall crazy stuff - it's down to earth and just simply fun. I hope to continue following your blog. Oh, and the photography is beautiful, just an added bonus to such a great list.
This is a great list - good luck with it. And sushi is definitely worth trying - it's one of my favourite foods. :-)
Grreat reading your post
