True confessions time. I spent the last week of 2016 creating a vision board.

Roll your eyes if you must, but it seemed like something fun to try. It’s full of bright new ideas and great growth and happiness that I want to manifest in 2017. How can you argue with that?

Put it up on the wall and all was good….until the new year hit and I returned to my “everybody says I should do this so I may as well do it” routine instead of trying to follow a new path.

My vision board fell off the wall.

Literally.

My business buddy suggested that maybe since I wasn’t following any of the ideas I put up there my vision board gave up on me.

Total crap? Maybe. But it got me thinking…

What got me the most positive feedback in 2016?

This blog.

I collected all the responses and printed them on pretty paper and taped them on the walls of my office.

Feeling very inspired…….I returned to my normal, regular, safe routine.

You can see where this is going right?

All the pretty paper started to fall off the wall…

So I put everything back up (with reinforced tape this time!) and spent serious time reflecting and writing about what to do next.

Over the course of the last week I’ve gotten a new idea that may be “the one”.

Today was the day to put out some feelers on it and get feedback.

Instead I decided to run errands… to the post office (closed for the holiday), the library (closed for the holiday), drop off recycling (bins are too full), and shop at a boutique (you guessed it…closed!).

<Sigh>

I picked up lunch (running all of those non-errands really worked up an appetite!) and headed home to send those emails.

Vision board: 1

April: Preparing her comeback (I am not a zero…not now, not ever)

Stay tuned, and if you come by the house watch out for falling inspirational objects!
