I meant to publish this on New Year’s Day, but I accidentally hit the publish button and it went on out into the RSS feeds. So I figured I would go ahead and publish it now.
Awhile back I received a Facebook message from a friend suggesting that I create a vision board. The message included a link to my friend’s Facebook photos where she had made an album dedicated to her own vision board.
The message read, “So… the purpose of creating a vision board is to define your outcomes and goals and allow those things to manifest in your life… And… When you share that vision with others the more powerful your intentions become…”
That friend was Amanda Hite, CEO of Talent Revolution. Amanda is a social media rock star and “change agent”, and she apparently is quite famous in the field of talent acquisition/consulting. I feel sorta honored that she even knows my name.
OK, so the message was a group one and not intended solely for me. But social media makes everything more personal, so I took it as an invitation to do something special.
Also, one of my social media strategies is to find people who are using social media effectively and creatively to make a difference in the world, and then try to incorporate some of their strategies into my own repertoire.
I have been thinking about it quite a bit, and I have decided to do my vision board here on my blog for my New Year’s Resolutions. Not that I will complete everything on the vision board in the next year, but I do want to dedicate myself towards making my visions real.
So, without further ado, here is my vision board. These are some of the outcomes and goals that I intend to manifest in my life. Let’s see how powerful my intentions become through the process of sharing them with you.
MY VISION

Ok, so I’m just now getting to read this (been traveling and behind). First I’m very flattered by the mention, thank you. Next I love the color, life and energy of your work. Just looking at it puts me in a good mood or leaves me with a smile. I can’t wait to see your portrait of “Bo”. I’m so glad that you shared your Vision Board with us it lets us get to know you better. Happy Holidays Vicki.

Excellent and inspiring post…I look forward to seeing the official portrait of Bo. Now that it is Jan 4th…I think it’s past time for me to get busy with a vision statement. Your creativity has garnered another follower…me. I look forward to following and sharing with you. May your blessings in 2010 be like snowflakes…too many to count.

OMC! That’s a GREAT vision board! I think I will make one for myself too. It will help me take over the universe quicker. My human has made a couple of vision boards; some of the things have actually happened, but I’m still waiting to get on the cover of Cat Fancy, and she’s still waiting for her Nobel Prize for literature.
