[Vision Boards]
Proverbs 29:18 | Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he who keeps vision, is happy.
What's a Vision Board: The idea derives from The Secret Book & DVD. It’s a board you create that exemplifies and outlines your personal vision and includes personal & professional goals, hopes, aspirations, wants, desires illustrated with words, images, pictures and more. Personally, I do a Vision Board twice annually.
The 1st Vision Board is done on New Year’s Day because it sets the tone for a positive and focused year. The 2nd Vision Board is done half-way through the year in July or August. What I have found is the New Year’s Vision Board is more broad and a snapshot of the entire year as I visualize it. Once half-way through the year, I have the ability to measure my success, strive for more and re-align or tweak my goals if needed.
The Secret aligns with many of the Christian principles. Spiritually, it’s about asking, speaking, believing & receiving God's blessings!! In creating a Vision Board, you will be doing just that!!
The final two steps in creating your Vision Board are the “speaking & believing” parts…
If you are doing your Vision Board with friends, each person should take time to share their boards with the group. Spiritually, with a humble heart, you must speak your needs into existence. If you’re doing your Vision Board alone, take time to call someone you love and share it with them via phone.
Lastly, it is so important you display your Vision Board in a place where you can see it everyday. For example, my Vision Board is above the bathroom door threshold in my bedroom because every morning as I prepare for my day, I look at my Vision Board and it’s truly encouraging! By seeing it daily, it will remind you of your goals and help you stay focused! Consistency is key!
Who: You, friends, family, co-workers and even kids can create a VB!
Time Length: 4-5 hours needed
Where: Lots of open space
Materials Needed: Foam Boards work best, All old magazines we can share & cut up, scissors, tape or glue stick, sharpies, stickers (if ya wanna be fancy) and any personal photographs you may want to include
*Some people use corkboards & pins that they recycle, but personally, I prefer foam boards & glue sticks so I can keep them and use them to assess my growth thru the years!
I hope this helps you create a powerful & inspirational Vision Board!
Love,
Nina Brown

Love It. Reading your tweet about your party I went and finished my vision board I started. I can tell since putting it up my energy has changed. I do promotional modeling part-time and keep saying i want it as a full time career. Promotions is my passion. I know nothing can stand in my way and my vision board helps me re-focus every day.
Thank you so much for introducing the "Vision Board" definitely on time. I'm going to make one and I will encourage my "sisterfriends" to do so as well.
