  1. You are very ambitious and very diverse in your collection of reads, movies, so on. I will have to think of something to challenge my self? Any ideas? I am looking forward to following you and to see you accomplish these goals. Have a fab day, Allie.

    1. Thank you!

      Sometimes we have to make a list to push ourselves. Sometimes we just like making list! 🙂

      I keep changing my list, so I don’t know if that is cheating or not, I don’t think so (and therefore I do that!) BUT the important thing is to add some spice to the daily routine of life and actually try to live a little more! Otherwise is no fun! 🙂

      So make a goal/s to challenge yourself only if you know you want to accomplish it, and only if you know you will feel better about yourself afterwards. Enjoy and thankyoumoreplease! 🙂

      1. I’ve thought about it perhaps more English Literature and/or writing poems. What do you think? I am not so comfortable but a challenge is good for my brain as well as my soul. Thanks for the encouragement, Allie

        1. April was the NaPoWriMo, or National Poetry Writing Month. And NaNoWriMo for Novels is coming up in November. If you want you can assign your very own NaPoWriMo and challenge yourself to a poem a day for a month straight. Even though it was not on my list, I still loved it completing it. and I think I came up with some brilliant poems. It was quite a challenge, especially on days when I was forcing myself to be inspired!

          You could steal my ‘1001 books to read list’ which I too stole 🙂 Or you could check out BBC’s top 100 books or you know, just read anything! Books are awesome! 🙂

          I’ll be looking forward to following you through your challenge/s! 🙂
