Anyone who knows me knows that I love a good list. Inspired by a friend who gave me this idea, my 101 things in 1,001 days list that I made a few years ago, and realizing that I have already been (mentally) been keeping a list of things I want to do during this quarantine period, I crowdsourced and then created a list of 30 things in 90 days as a start. Here is what I’ll be doing (although some I have already completed). Join me in making and sharing your quarantine list!
