I hope you have all created your vision boards and are enjoying the process of manifesting your ideal lives!  If you are just joining us, here are my previous posts to help get you started: Creating a Vision Board – Part 1 Creating a Vision Board – Part 2 Mine has been up right next to my desk for a couple of weeks now, and I absolutely love looking at it. It’s such a positive space that makes me feel more vibrant and alive each time I glance over at it.  I mentioned in my previous posts that I put a picture of my dream home on it. It’s truly a beautiful home, and it just happens to be for sale. On my vision board, I had some fun in Photoshop and put Dan and I sitting right in front of it. I know that the absolute most important part of visualizing and creating your ideal life is getting to the feeling – really imagining that this is your life – really FEEL yourself in it. And looking at the house pictures are great fun, but I thought it would be even more fun to actually go to the house and really feel what it would be like to live there. So the other day, Dan and I drove by it and while we weren’t able to see the house (it’s on acreage and has a security gate), we were able to drive close to it and feel the energy from the area. It’s such a beautiful part of the country, and I definitely can see myself living there. It’s so exciting! So this is what this post is all about for each of us who have created our board and are just walking by it and looking at it each day. Stop yourself from simply looking and take a moment to truly feel yourself in this life. Whatever your dreams are – put yourself in them.  It could be your ideal relationship, job, home, etc.  Really FEEL it.  This is how you attract it into your life.  Let’s all manifest our ideal lives together and then come back here and share! And remember to have a separate board for your realized dreams – this is such a great motivator for continuing this process!

It’s another sappy day here in our house: it’s our wedding anniversary! Seven years ago today we shared the most magical moment:  we committed to being together and loving each other for the rest of our lives. And that love has continued to grow, and I feel beyond blessed that our lives are entwined forever.  As a wedding present, our friends made our wedding rings to symbolize our love – two complete souls coming together to share and grow: I wrote this card for Dan, and it quickly became our bestselling card – I’m so glad that there are lots of other happy couples, too! So let’s all celebrate love today – whatever form that takes for you.  There is always enough love to go around. It seems like the more we open our hearts – the more we are able to let in.  Big hugs to all of you!

I was born 36 years ago today. What a journey it’s been so far, and I’m just getting started! I have learned so much and had some really great times and some really horrible times – all of which have made me into the person I am today. All of which have gotten me closer to living my true life on my true path. All of which have led me closer to my life purpose.  I feel so blessed to be surrounded by so many supportive friends and family – people who truly are on my team and who are rooting for me.  Thank you so much to everyone who has shared birthday wishes for me today! My inbox and facebook page were all filled up with love, which fills me with warm fuzzies. I woke up to a sweet serenade from my dear hubby – he learned two songs for me: You Gotta Have Faith and Faithfully (this is my year of taking a leap of faith). And then he took me on a scavenger hunt filled with clues about what my year would look like (amazing!), which ended with the biggest, sweetest present of all. He wrote a screenplay for me about the journey that I am on right now that is leading me to my true calling. It’s a screenplay and a vision board in one, and it’s simply wonderful. Even after almost 10 years together, I still pinch myself that he’s real. It’s so nice to be celebrated and to feel loved. That’s really all anyone could ask for, and today I feel it coming from everyone so fully and so completely.  Thank you so much!

I’m thrilled that yesterday’s post about creating a vision board received so many views and comments here and also on our Facebook page! It is so wonderful to know that so many of us are taking action to manifest our dreams!  I spent hours yesterday working on my board. It is hanging right next to me here in my office, and it has such a great energy to it. I love standing in front of it and really feeling my life through these images and words. One of our wonderful Facebook fans made a great point yesterday.  She has been creating vision boards for years. It’s actually a continual work-in-progress that changes as her vision changes. She wrote that she wished she had taken pictures of it through the years because since it is always changing, she doesn’t have any record of what was on it previously.  I thought this was such a great idea and something we can all do: periodically take pictures of our vision boards. You may remember John Assaraf from The Secret. He really is a mastermind at manifesting what he puts onto his vision board. Many year ago, he put his dream home on his vision board, truly felt what it would be like to live there, and now it’s his home! He has an entire wall in his office dedicated to his many vision boards. He has them broken down into categories that work for him – such as career, family, abundance, etc.  One thing that I especially love that he does is he has created a bulletin board for everything that he has manifested. So when something that was on one of his vision boards happens in his life, he moves it over to the manifested board. I can imagine that it would be a real boost to look over and see how much you have accomplished just by imagining it were your reality. So I’m definitely going to do this, and I can’t wait to begin to move things over from one board to the next.  He has a Complete Vision Board Kit, which can help you get started in creating your own vision board. I would love to hear any additional ideas you have about manifesting your ideal life. Please share them here with all of us. Let’s all continue creating the life we know we were meant to live by visualizing it, feeling it, and taking action!

Do you have a vision board?  A place where you put up pictures and words that best represent your dreams and goals that you would like to attract into your life?  The idea behind the vision board is to get you THERE. To put yourself into your ideal life and actually FEEL what it’s like to be there. Your mind truly doesn’t know the difference between actuality and feeling. And the way the law of attraction works is to manifest everything you want in your life by feeling as though you already have it. This is where the vision board can be so helpful. I know many stories of people putting something on their board and then making it reality soon after. By creating a vision board and then FEELING what it was like to live that life, people have attracted love, money, homes, health, and inner peace to their lives. If you have never created one before – give it a try!  It’s a great way for you to go within and envision what your ideal life looks like. There are so many categories that you could focus on – it just depends on what you would like to manifest into your life: Love Career Abundance Friendship Spirituality Health Your Home Life Relaxation/Vacations There are so many ways you can do this, too. I am a bit embarrassed to admit this, but I took my vision board apart when we moved two years ago, and I am just now making a new one. It’s one of those things that has been on my to-do list ever since, and then life took over and my own self-care got pushed to the bottom of my priority list. Because I have cleared my plate for an entire month to take care of myself, write, and take time to go within – everything that was pushed down is rising up again. And one of these things is my vision board. What I did is take a large bulletin board, which I then covered in beautiful paper for the background. I am a visual person, so I wanted my vision board itself to be beautiful. I then started thinking about my life: What does my ideal life look like?  How do I live?  How do I spend my days?
