Vision Boards

"Picture yourself vividly as winning and that alone will contribute immeasurably to success. Great living starts with a picture, held in your imagination, of what you would like to do or be." - Harry Emerson Fosdick

I don't really know when I started making vision boards but the first one was probably made while I was in Jr. High School some 35+ years ago.  I didn't know what they were then or how powerful they could be, but I remember making collages of things that I loved and things that I hoped and dreamed about.  I would keep them in journal or hang them near a desk in my room where I dumped all my stuff at the end of the school day. 

Since then, the art of making vision boards has become a regular thing for me.  I have refined the process and have a much better understanding of what it does. 

Around this time of year, I begin to think about the year in review and soon after that a flood of ideas and hopes for the New Year begin to appear.  I love this process of imagining the future and have always been a daydreamer.  My Mom will attest to the fact that I was often found lost in deep daydreaming as a child and she would rouse me from my trance of visioning to do a chore or homework.  Things haven't changed much and I spend the early morning and just before sleep moments of my days in this state of creation.  This goes on all year long but near the turning of the year and my birthday, it gets crazy fun and so justifiable.  What better time to make a vision board? 

Last year I made it a community event by inviting friends and whomever over to my house a few days before the New Year to make vision boards.  I am going to repeat that this year!  Yay!  So if you are close by, stay tuned for details.
