Post the Sixth: A New List
Despite financial hurdles and the European fiasco causing me to axe the bulk of 2014’s List Project, I still feel that it was a valuable project. I learned a lot about myself, my tastes, the differences in how I see myself and who I am, and so much more. Would I do the List Project again? In a heartbeat. And I am, in fact, doing it again. Here, for your perusal, is my new List for 2015.
