My Impossible List

Inspired by Joel Runyon over at Impossible HQ this is my list of impossible things. All the things that at one point in time, I've said is impossible for me to do. It's all good and well for people who are amazing and/or famous, but I wasn't "good enough" to do any of these things. 

Now as I start this new chapter in my life, I'll have this list as a challenge and reminder to me that with commitment and actions, anything is possible.  I'll be crossing them off and adding to them as I go, and blogging regularly about each item.
