Vision Board for 2013!

Good morning!

For as long as I can remember, I have always been an avid dreamer! Dreaming about my future and what God was going to do in my life, and through my life. Who I would meet, where I would live, what kind of job would I have, where would I travel, what new skills would I learn, and what kind of adventures would I go on.

Sometimes when life would get tough, one of my favorite things to do, back when I was much younger, and money was really tight, I remember I would sit with a copy of the JC Penney catalog (do you remember those?) and I would thumb through that massive catalog writing down everything and anything that I wanted to see in my life. Sometimes my finished list would contain things as simple as a particular couch that I thought would be snuggly to cuddle and watch movies in, or maybe it would be a fabulous new dress to wear on the perfect day out, or it might have even been as profound as wanting to travel the world in search of the purpose of my life.

Nowadays, I do not write too many life lists, although I do still have one MASSIVE list that I update around my birthday every year. I have taken up the practice of creating a Vision board for my life every year! Vision boards are a way that I can visually see everything and anything that I want to see manifest in my life every year.

In 2011, my visibility board revolved around finding my soul sisters. A close group of intimate girlfriends that I could relate and connect with, share my dreams and sorrows with, and really just find opportunities to reach out and find people to share our joys with.

2012’s visibility board seemed to focus more on me developing a sense of personal fashion, beauty, style, and really becoming more comfortable in my own skin.

This year’s board, I am noticing a new trend as I study the seemingly random pictures that I chose to compile on my board. It looks to me like 2013 is the year that I am going to truly embrace my creativity and actively take actions to move towards making a living doing what I love and am passionate about, which is empowering women to become the best of themselves, while using art as a way to truly listen to what our souls are saying to us.

I can also see my growing love of a simple life, out in the country, enjoying a quality of life versus a quantity of life that was important to me in the past. I dream about spending time out in nature both by myself and with my loved ones, but I can also see as I look at this board, a strong, independent business woman who lives her life in the way that she chooses to on a daily basis, while generously loving all of the people who come in and out of her life.

This is a life that jazzes me to no end! I can’t wait to see what this year holds in store – I know God still has a lot of work to do with me yet, but I am sooooo ready for this amazingly exciting journey!!

As you take a look at my vision board for 2013, maybe you might be inspired to create one for yourself, and see what your soul is trying to tell you through your own seemingly random array of pictures. Once you have created your board, let me know in the comments section of this post, what is your vision board telling you???

Also, if you haven’t taken the opportunity yet, I would love to have you follow me on my adventures by hitting the “Subscribe” button in the right hand column! I promise, I have a bunch of new stuff heading your way!!

With that…

Here is to a FABULOUS day!!

If you want to have a different life, you have to live differently!!
