![]() Last year I created a list called "216 Things to Do in 2016" and it was quite popular to say the least. I decided to make a new list of resolutions and things to do in 2017- completely different from last year's list! It's amazing how much can change in a year. For me, 2016 was filled with some really great memories but also plenty of hardships. All of these things have really changed my perspective on life. I hope this list can inspire you to embrace each new year as a new chapter in your life. I think the most beautiful thing about life is that every day is a new opportunity to recreate ourselves. Don't ever stay stagnant and don't ever think you've reached your peak. There's always something else to learn, try, create, or experience! This is my list of 217 Things To Do in 2017 and if you have any thoughts or ideas for things to add to this list- feel free to leave your comments below! To Learn....1. How to grow vegetables 2. Some form of self-defense 3. The master skill of blending & highlighting your make up 4. Basic coding / website building 5. All about a foreign country that you've always been interested in 6. A new signature cocktail for 2017 7. The basics of meditation 8. To listen more instead of giving your opinion 9. Defensive driving 10. How to cook an egg (there are MANY ways, all of them delish) 11. The proper way to perform the heimlich maneuver 12. Something random off of a Youtube video 13.
