2022 has arrived and has not started out exactly how I pictured! To attempt and swing the new year in a more positive direction I decided to write my third 101 in 1001 list. (Round One & Round Two for reference.) This round feels exciting (in some ways daunting) and overall motivating as I know the next 2.75 years are sure to bring lots of big changes. I decided to keep my categories the same as my second list with one grand finale item. I will update from time to time, wish me luck!
