101 in 1001

As a new blogger, I gathered inspiration from those before me. One such blogger is Ali from astoldbyali, whom I got this page inspiration from. You can check out her fabulous website here. Make sure to visit her 101 in 1001 page.

101 in 1001 is a list that comprises things you would like to do and tasks you would like to complete in the short term (1001 days). Many bloggers have broken this list down into sections so I will follow suit. I will also be adding my own twist as this list will feature shared goals between my hubby and me.

This page is covered. All things will be manifested in his name and no weapons formed will prosper. 


“For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” Psalm 84:11

Notes: This 101 in 1001 list is harder than I thought, I have a little over a year to complete this list (by complete I mean to add items as well as do them lol). Since my blog is mostly focused on caring for dreadlocks, I will try to add some things to do surrounding that. – 05/21/2020.

Update 10/13/2021 – Well, can I blame COVID for not complying this list. I think so, I am going to add another year lol. Its my list so I can do what I want.

Lowkey, it was amazing to come back and see my progress! Its crazy, that I did a lot of these things without ever going back to the list.
