Expanded Horizons September 2010

Allow me to stray briefly from my usual routines of merely providing you with creative tidbits, to give you a summary of some things I accomplished last month in what I call "Operation Expanded Horizons". I hope this inspires you to follow my lead and always look for ways to break out of your typical cardboard box of daily monotony and constricting comfort zones.

Read, ponder, and then make your own list next month:
