I believe...

Ok, so I'm ripping this blog idea off of a friend Apryl Marie (sorry her blog is private) who ripped it off our mutual friend Carla Jean. I thought it was inspiring and wanted to add/delete my own list.

Rather than going through both of their lists and making a mess adding and deleting, I've just created my list, but borrowed a few of their ideas to get me going:
