100 Goals in 1000 days!

New years resolutions + me = Never gonna happen!
I dont know if its just the word "Resolution" but Ive never kept up with any of them past the 2nd week of January! So Im better off writing a list of Goals because I seem to actually get those done! Maybe its cuz its a shorter word or I just enjoy checking them off! Yes I know im strange! :)

Last year I started a list of goals for 2012 and surprisingly I got through most of them -I kept the list realistic & short to make sure it was possible to cross them off (some people would call that cheating but I think its genius!)… there were only around 20 of them! Woo Hoo! But theres still Sooooo Much that needs to get done! So for the year 2013 I decided that I would make a list of “100 Goals in 1000 days”Challenge! Its been pretty hard to even come up with 100 goals! Ive included business and personal goals in this huge list! I think that by sharing my list with my readers it will make me feel pressured to actually get them done!  Im being vulnerable here so please bare with me lol!
Believe it or not Im actually a private person! I know I blab a lot on my blog or Facebook but those are just about fun things or issues that I wouldnt mind sharing with a complete stranger waiting in line with me at Vons. But when it comes to super personal things I only have a small (I mean tiny) handful of people that I really open up to. I really dont like to burden others with my problems, thats why I try to always keep it light & fluffy!

So I hope that opening up a little and sharing my list of goals with you may spark an interest for you to create a list of your own! If so please share! So wish me luck cuz here I go!!!
