I have ALWAYS been a sucker for a bucket list! Back in September 2022, I *finally* started my own 101 in 1,001 days bucket list. The 101 in 1,001 bucket list is *surprise* a bucket list where one completes 101 goals in 1,001 days. Today, I am sharing my first-ever update into completing my 101 goals in 1,001 days. Needless to say, I am very proud of how much I have accomplished since kicking off my 101 goals just 6 months ago. Here’s to accomplishing many more goals until June 2025.
