100 things.....is a lot.

Well, in some ways I am winning at the #dosummer2016. I'm crossing off a lot of 15 minute increments-I'm going to stick it out until the end of summer, but I'm kind of feeling like my intentionality is a little vague..I have learned a new painting techniques, listened to a lot of Dave Ramsey Pod Casts...and oh by the way..Friday is the last run until Katrina and I are officially 5K runners...but what am I accomplishing really?
I've been thinking about this Fall and how there are a lot of other goals I'd like to accomplish, but some seem so daunting I don't even know where to start-so I decided to join in on the 30 Day Hustle and see what happens! I'd love to have someone join me in the journey-so if that someone is you, let me know! (Click the link to see what it is...)

And now onto 100 things I am thankful for...
