101 in 1001 Days.

Recently I haven’t been inspired creatively. When I started creating content, I had a notebook bursting at the seams with ideas. As I have been putting out regular content for over a year now via YouTube and my blog, I have slowly lost some of that energy. I know that I am a different person than I was when I began this journey and I know I will be a completely different person a year from now as well. 
My life is changing completely with my move to New York City to attend graduate school [this is a welcomed change!]. Besides being a graduate student, I want to have my own identity and interests. I know my funds and schedule will look much different when I move so I want to get creative. I want to set some personal goals and bigger goals [more of a reach for me]. I read a post from my good friend Teresa who made a list of 101 things she wants to accomplish in 1001 days. She was inspired by another blogger. As I read through her goals, I thought about what a great idea this is [I may have stolen a few of her ideas!]!
