Things to Do

This is my Things to Do List, I am constantly crossing items off and always adding new ones! Recently, I’ve also found myself deleting items, things that no longer are “goals” (ie: buy a house).

I encourage you to make a list of all the things you’ve ever wanted to do, big or small. Change and update the list but never give up! Putting your wants and needs into the universe is the first step to receiving them. Live your life to make you happy and do things that feed your soul.

Check back to see what’s new here and comment below with your big or small accomplishments!
