Doing the Design Thing

Just attended a seminar today about Design and how to make a beautiful bed. Since I am changing careers, these workshops become major strengths in helping me transition. I am learning a lot and have even been able to network with others who are doing the same thing.

I am so excited about this journey as I am bringing out more of my creativity--a lot which was hidden.

If they are inheriting this world, they need to start thinking about their part in it and how they can make change to make a better world. Watch the videos below about some of the concerns I have. These are just a few but a good start. "Drinking and Driving Drunk"
