101 in 1001 - part 3 - Ended

I was not as successful at my 2nd attempt of the day zero project as I was on my first attempt. I chalk this up to a lot of things - mostly that I got engaged and got married and my entire life changed during that 101 in 1001. Changed for the very best!

Read my second attempt at the 101 in 1001 here

Now I am starting my 3rd attempt! I did keep a lot of the same goals as they are ones that I enjoy doing and this reminds me how much I enjoy them.
