My Never Ending Checklist
~
Ok, this is just a personal page, the one that you may not even be interested in reading, up to you. It's about my always-evolving list of experiences I want to accomplish, based on what my true life goals are. - Inspired by Joel Runyon's impossible challenge -
I thought it could be a good idea to just open myself up and be transparent about who I am, where I am at, and which are my goals - at least my 'not so far' future goals. As Brené Brown would say, 'Truth and courage aren’t always comfortable', but I guess doing something that makes me uncomfortable is worth trying. So, here we are.
