So as I have mentioned in my earlier post, I absolutely adore Mackenzie Horan's blog Design Darling, and I often derive a ton of inspiration from her posts. One of my favorite things that Mackenzie does on her blog is that she compiles a list of 101 things which she wishes to accomplish in 1001 days. These goals can range from small, every-day tasks to large bucket-list accomplishments. After reading and re-reading all of her goals, I figured it was time to create a list of my own, so below I thought of my 101 tasks which I hope to accomplish in 1001 days! I'll be adding a link of my list to the main tool bar of Girl on the Verge, so you guys can keep up with my progress, and I encourage all of you to make your own lists as well! Here we go!
