I'm With CoCo

“All I ask is one thing, particularly of young people that watch. Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism. It’s my least favorite quality. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard, and are kind, amazing things will happen.”

Day Zero Project

I had been considering making my own list a dayzeroproject.com for awhile, but in typical Micaela fashion, I procrastinated. Maybe I should have put that on my list, but I didn't. Anyway, for those unfamiliar, Day Zero Project is a site where you can make a list of 101 goals for 1001 days. I like the thought of giving myself more than a year to accomplish goals and had a harder time coming up with 101, but I'm happy with the results.
