Goal #23 is complete

Yesterday was an exciting day. I started my Day Zero project and shared this with my online social networking community. For those that know me well, you likely know that I am a private person. This project is allowing me open up and share my experiences in a way that I haven't before.

J and I talked about this exact point last night and it was exciting for me to realize that I'm growing as a person and am willing to share my journey of 1,001 days. It was also exciting to realize that the majority of my goals involve J - so we will be able to grow as a couple as well.

Now onto my first completed goal: #23: Influence a person to make a Day Zero list. By creating this blog and sharing my experiences with the world, I am happy to report that I have influenced not one but five people to do the same. I had no idea that a simple post on Facebook would allow me to feel as though I've made a difference and am delighted to find that it has in fact caused this sentiment. I look forward to seeing the other ways this simple list will influence my life (and J's life of course).

The beginning of my adventure

I recently discovered a life changing website: Day Zero.

Day Zero challenges people to set 101 goals and achieve these goals in 1,001 days - approximately 2.7 years. I will finish this project on September 26, 2012, one day after J and I will celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary. Now, I cannot take credit and say that I planned this date - but as fate would have it, it truly is the perfect end date to this project as the majority of my goals include my loving husband.

There are several items that I am excited to complete, a few that I am nervous about completing in time and a few that are kind of wacky and fun. Coming up with 101 goals may not seem like a tough task, but it truly was. It took my almost 4.5 hours to complete the list and be truly proud and excited to accomplish these goals.

I hope you enjoy following my journey, as I am very much looking forward to updating everyone on my triumphs and tribulations along the way. I plan on crossing off item 83 tomorrow evening (achieving this goal will also aid in the completion of goal 45)
