Until I can fulfill them, maybe others can draw inspiration from the ideas.
The second goal is to collect all the design related things I find interesting and inspirational.
The third goal is to host my portfolio and display all my design work.Kim Thomsonnoreply@blogger.comBlogger41100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288587486244370026.post-47326554764453173332011-10-13T10:59:00.000-07:002011-10-13T10:59:42.236-07:00Blog RollI'm sure all of you already have a TON of blogs that you follow, or maybe you don't but are looking for a push to start.....

I was lucky enough to attend the graduation recital of a good friend of mine from high school. She plays the piano and is an amazing musician; she is such an inspiration.<br /><br />Goal: Regain my passion for piano.<br />Step 1: Get an electric keyboard! I've already put it on my birthday list, and have set a decent amount of money to buy one myself.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1288587486244370026-6511085363515382184?l=mentaldustbunnies.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kim Thomsonnoreply@blogger.com0
