It's been a long time since I've posted about my 101 Things in 1001 Days adventure! I'm less than 5 months to the finish line and just about 50% done. I feel great though because so far this list has inspired me to get done 50 cool things and there's still time to finish them up.
There are some that I might create substitutions for. For example, put participate in the Take Back the Night walk on my list. I realize the key for me is to stand up and be counted on an issue I believe in, so I may find another way to do that. And because I'm a strong believer in closure, I've decided that for every item that I don't complete, I will donate $1 to charity. In the meantime, I'm going to print up my undones and get into action!
