As a good-bye to the year, I thought I’d share my 2014 vision board with you all. 🙂
In January (after Grayheart and I initially discussed separation but decided not to pursue), I struggled with trying to find who I was outside of being a mom. I read that putting together a plan with images could really help visualize and actualize a new life. My girlfriend had a “vision board” party and we cut through magazines and advertisements to produce something that described us.
I placed my board on my nightstand and looked at it on a daily basis. I told myself I’d start running and eventually do a half marathon, lose 25 lbs, sleep and read more, eat better, take up painting again, possibly archery, etc., etc. I haven’t completed everything on it but I certainly have achieved much more than I thought I would.
Some of these will be placed again on my 2015 Vision Board while new goals accompany them. I’ve really found it to be a motivational project and look forward to creating a new one.
I wish you all a very safe and happy New Year! Here’s to hoping that 2015 will bring us all great things! (Or that you go after those great things you want. Why wait for it to come to us, right?)
Esta frase es una cajita de paz llena de alegría, envuelta con cariño, sellada con una sonrisa y enviada con un beso. ¡Feliz año nuevo!
A vision board party? Is your gf involved with empowerment seminars at landmark education?

Yes, she will be guest host at Oprah’s next “live your best life tour” and frequently counsels Deepak Chopra on life choices. 😉
Btw, i had the same reaction and then ended up eagerly cutting out quotes from O magazine… I had to put aside the hateration and embrace the corny side of me.
