101 in 1001

It’s 2020 and I’m officially six years behind on this trend, but I’m doing it anyway. I first saw these lists start to pop up a year or two ago and I had started one on my phone, but now that I’ve started to think about my 2020 goals, I figured why not think about goals for the next three years. We’ll see how much I can get through!
