I like to make lists. I scratch numbered tasks and projects on scraps of bills and note cards and coffee stained napkins. Usually these lists just get written and rewritten, (very) slowly evolving--growing and shrinking as the the days pass. Sometimes they get forgetten. I'll be honest, i'm not the best at completing my lists. But, i've been inspired by so many amazing women on the web who have written their own creative lists and are documenting, through words and photos, their progress.
