Last night I gave a small talk to 5 very different women–all linked by our faith. I stayed up long after they left my messy basement.
I talked (probably too much) about how I would collect magazine pages of “things” that made my heart sing. I didn’t know why I liked these pictures but I did. I never really looked at the notebook–once I collected the picture and it was “safe” I just left it.
My suggestion to my friends was to just cut out things that they loved and didn’t know why–it was really interesting as we then talked about our boards as we were completed. We all had similar visual images that made our individual hearts sing–but together it could have been a choir.
“I love paths!”
So do I!! we would chime in and talk about our “path” that speaks to us.
It really made me think that we really are on the same sorts of journeys–just at different spots along the road.
One of the themes that I saw among all of the boards is that within our own personal stories–we share chapters, pages, paragraphs, sentences and sometimes only a word–
if we let allow ourselves to share, open up and invite love into our lives.
I’m linking up with Barb here.
Great post.
I keep a book like this…. very similiar….

Be Blessed.
I’ve done this, too, and keep adding to it. Every time I look through it I smile and see my trail through life constantly evolving and growing. I find I opt more for intangibles as words like joy, family, authentic show up intermingled with book titles, paint chips and smiles drifting among them.. .
and have you found them floating in and out of your life–if you go back and look in the book? I was trying to think of it as visual gratitude . . . but that doesn’t exactly capture my idea.
Be Blessed.
I went back and read the other Vision Board post before commenting. I love the list of questions. I think Inspiration and Vision can and should be two different things. Inspiration is more about what gets your creative juices going whereas Vision is about where you are headed.
Thank you for sharing this with Motivation Monday!
For me at this moment my vision is spurred by my inspiration on some days and visa versa on other days . . . I’m at a point where my vision, my mission and my creative self are all coming together! I’ve waited a long time for this.
Be Blessed.
