  1. Hi, I read your blog and awesome list of goals, and congratulations on your super motivated journey to dream big, live big! :)

    I'm find I'm kinda like you.. driven and regularly set goals for myself and reach them.. want to share with you that I have just completed a dream of mine - an iPhone app (adream) where people can share their dreams and goals in a fun way. It's my little way of making a difference and has been an incredible journey so far.

    I hope you will check it out if you have an iPhone (or iPad) and let me know your thoughts. :) You can find the app here - http://adre.am/app

    Best, Ray
