Vision Board

I mentioned in another discussion yesterday about having a vision board. I have attached mine here. I created it when I was doing the Artist's Way workshop with some friends. The million dollar cheque I had done a couple of year's before. The date on the cheque is October 30, 2012. October 30th is my birthday. On October 30th, 2012, I found myself in Hawaii. Not a million dollars but priceless. Also on the vision board is parasailing, which we did in Hawaii, and a postcard from Hawaii, which of course I did get to. There's also pictures about being fit, having a dog, a good camera, a new laptop (which I actually need right now as my driver has died and may cost me a bit for repairs), There's a picture of Ireland, beautiful backyards, kitchen, house, vacations in general, England and some inspirational words. When you do a vision board you are supposed to have it in a place where you can see it every day. A friend of mine put a picture of a pink cadillac on her refrigerator and eventually she got one. This vision board has been more or less buried in the basement. I used to be down here every day looking at it but not much of late. I guess it's time I stared at it more. Have you ever done a vision board? Have any of your desires come true? P.S. If the picture is upside down I will do my best to fix it. I'm on my desktop with a different program which I'm not used to.

@patgalca That is very interesting. I have never heard of a vision board before. Good idea. I will wish you an early early birthday on October 30th. So where will you be this birthday?

We haven't decided. My husband actually agreed to go away again this birthday and then I brought up the idea of the family tropical Christmas vacation reminding him that after this year we don't know where our girls will be, so he is actually looking into that idea instead. The only time we went on a family vacation was to Orlando, Florida, in 2002.

@Hannihar We made one trip to Disney in Florida for a week when I got my insurance settlement. Everything else is to visit his family. That's what vacations are for, he says. I really had to twist his arm to get him to take me to Hawaii. Now I'm twisting his arm to get a tropical Christmas this year. My daughter, who works at the airlines, says she may not be able to get the time off. So if we don't do a family tropical Christmas then my husband and I will go away together in the fall... hopefully.

@patgalca So in the past when the kids were young did you go on vacations all the time?

I like the idea of a vision board. I don't have one, but maybe one day I'll make one. Are you going to keep yours in a place you can see it every day?

Right now my laptop is in to have the hard drive replaced. So I am on the desk top in the basement which is where my vision board is, so I am looking at it every day right now.

@patgalca Oooh, at least you're able to see it daily. I'm sorry about your laptop, and I hope the hard drive can be replaced soon. Glad you have the desktop to use though.

@tammys85 Thanks. It was so handy having the laptop at hand upstairs though. I don't like being down here by myself.

I thought everyone knew about vision boards. It's a nice little project in creativity and the power of positive thinking.
