100 Things (1-27)

Rumor has it that if you write down goals you achieve them, and I've noted in a few places instances where people have written down life checklists. I am going to attempt to do the same here, but I'm only going to put 1-27 in honor my forthcoming birthday anniversary.

Doctrine & Covenants 88:119:
Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;

2009: Less Stress

This year I'm going to focus on reducing stress (for reasons of health and sanity). I have a list of 52 Proven Stress Reducers that I got from Texas Woman's University, and since there are 52 weeks in the year (how convenient!) I'm going to highlight on one each week of this year.

Much love,
kt

ps I've backdated weeks 1 and 2 to the Monday of each week. I'll post weekly ones on Mondays going forward.

Doctrine & Covenants 75:3
