THE List

A few months ago, someone shared this motivational speech by Steve Harvey. It was about making your vision via a list of 300 things. Now I am paraphrasing. I will share the link when I get permission. I thought it was a great speech and I thought it would be pretty awesome to make a list like he talks about. And I didn’t think anything of it. Time goes on and it comes up again. The next morning, I feel like I have been hit over my head as I am standing in the shower. I need to do this. I need to make a list. And that is part of why I have started this blog. So here goes nothing. Yes, they range from minor to major but hey- what in life isn’t that way?

Drum roll? Please? LOL
