Vision Boards

Vision Boards. What are they? Why do them? Well, a friend of mine first explained this concept to me sometime last year. If you visualize what you want, you set the universe in motion to provide it. Simple concept really. See it. Believe it. Receive it. (I think they say that in The Secret.)

I've done this a couple of times - and I'm overdue for another. I created collages of my goals in life. Things like becoming published, attending conferences, creativity, love, etc. Now, not all my "wishes" have manifested yet but some have. And if I keep positive I believe that ultimately all of them will.

If you're artistic draw what you want. If that area isn't your forte then go through magazines and pull out words and pictures representing what you want or what makes you happy. In the ones I've created, I also "prepared" items I cut out and included. Like a picture of a particular person, place, or thing then I added words to the pictures so the idea was uniquely mine.

This was a lot of fun and really made me think about what I wanted to do with my life. And especially what I wanted to experience in my life. Give it a try. Suspend disbelief and just have fun. Maybe in a few years, your vision boards will be road maps to the world in which you live.

What’s “The Secret”?

I went to a friend’s house last night and a group of us watched a video called “The Secret.” I admit I was pretty skeptical cause it seemed gimicky but I was willing to let it in and see if it spoke to me. It was way cool. So what’s the secret? It’s an informational video about the law of attraction. There wasn’t anything we haven’t heard in a variety of ways, but it was put together in a very smooth cohesive way which presented things that made me think. Thoughts have power. You are what you think. You draw to you what you think and feel.

So how is this about writing? Lately, I’ve been saying to people. (Hell, to anyone that will listen…) I can’t write this one scene - it just won’t come. Pun intended. (See previous post). Talk about bad vibes. I’ve been thinking about how I can’t write some scene, and guess what kids…I can’t write that scene. Viewing the video made me think about all the blessings I have in my life and how many of them just flowed to me. Powerful happy things came to me when I was happy. Do I need to get a clue-by-four? I guess so and watching the video last night was a ringing clue-by-four.

So I’m making a New Year’s resolution in November. I’m going to think creatively. I can write easily and creatively. Words and ideas flow. Story ideas come to me. I finish what I write. Love scenes are a pleasure to write. People enjoy reading my work. Agents and publishers like my writing…

You get the idea. I’m putting it out there and I’m going to try to think about it every day. If I believe it, others will too. Seems simplistic - or so my intellectual side says. My feeling side is telling my intellectual side to take a visit to Tahiti with my Muse, so I guess I will.

Do you have to agree with me? Nope. Go your own way. But if you want to learn more visit http://thesecret.tv/. The choice is yours.

Funny… The video said that too. Hey… It’s working!
