Today officially marks the one year anniversary since I began my Day Zero Project list entitled \”101 Things to do in 1001 Days.\” In fact, my list has 110 items on it, as I suddenly had an epiphany as I completed it.
I look back on the year and realize not only the number of things I have done, but the great diversity of things, the interesting new things, and quality of my time spent!

I also hope to be able to soon start and check off getting my CHL, finish writing 100 haikus, and celebrate my 35th birthday in a special way. I hope the next 365 days are as fun and interesting and productive and the last! I totally recommend using Day Zero Project as a way to get motivated to complete goals and try new things!
