Ahh! It’s intimidating. I will probably fall flat on my face multiple times but I’m embracing the process. Some of these were going to happen whether they were on a list or not but I think having them here makes it more intentional in a way? At the very least it makes me more accountable.
What do you think? Let me know if we have any goals in common!
