I don't often get a chance to watch Oprah, but for some reason (divine intervention??), I turned it on yesterday and was mesmerized by the show about 'The Secret'.
I was so incredibly inspired by this show. I have a great life (fantastic family, education, good job, friends, etc), but have always felt something missing, and I know exactly what it is - I don't feel as connected to the people around me. I want to have the kind of relationships that I see other people have. My husband and I have a great relationship, but I miss having deep friendships with girlfriends.
This morning I decided to create a Vision Board. I started a list of what I wanted on it and was totally shocked to see what was missing from my list! I thought that it would have a big house, items related to money, etc. but it didn't. My list was almost entirely about how I want to change my connection with other people, my dreams, and how I live my life day-to-day. It really surprised me! Of course, there are a few items that are related to money and 'things' - geez, a girl's gotta have some stuff!
So, here's what is going on my vision board (so far):
* Jewelry Designer (I love making jewelry but have never had the confidence to take it to the next level)
* Being my own boss (I've always wanted to have my own business in a creative, artsy industry, like scrapbooking or jewelry making.)
* Pictures of me with my friends (I hope this inspires me to reach out to them more)
* Creative and inspiring words (to remind me to start my day with positive thoughts)
* A picture of a woman with a healthy, fit body, dressed fashionably (I want to start dressing with more confidence and the great body - heck, we all want that, don't we!! )
* Lotto ticket (here's my money item ) I noticed Jenny McCarthy had lotto tickets on her vision board. I thought that was really interesting!
* Another item which will remain secret - I have this dream and I won't say what it is.
Like I said, I'm really surprised at what is on my list. I'd love to see what other people are putting on their vision boards!
