The FINAL list!

Here we go! My 40x40 in 4 years begins. I am committing to accomplish these  items over the next four years. I am nervous and hesitant. Okay, that isn't even the full of my emotions but I am not sure I could express how I really feel. Let's just say I am going to enjoy many of them but break out of my comfort zone on some as well.

Enough is enough! Let's get to that list!

I will (In NO particular order):
  1. Read 40 books
  2. Climb a collective 40,000 ft in elevation

And hopefully if you know anything exciting ways to help be pass off anything on this list....PLEASE SHARE YOUR IDEAS!!!
