Currently I am reading, "The Vision Board, The Secret to an Extraordinary Life" by Joyce Schwarz and I am loving it. It is filled with beautiful pictures and inspiring examples of others work. Thus far I have loosely understood the purpose of a vision board but this book helps take it a step further for me. It goes into explaining how visioning sessions work and the importance of using power words to find your personal visioning statement. I have deeply meditated on finding my very own power words to help guide me and I have narrowed it down to two: freedom & security. I feel that if I strive to include these in every aspect of my life, I will be well covered. Therefore, my personal vision statement will be, "I am free to be myself and secure with who I am!" How else are these powerful words to be useful to my life? Let me share a few snippets from a recent journal entry on the subject:
Relationships-Secure enough in my relationships with others to feel Free to be myself
Money- Freedom to spend as I wish and Security to know that my needs are always met first
Travel- Freedom to explore with a Secure and comfortable home to return to
Food- Freedom to enjoy food and drink because I am Secure with my body and health
Work/lia sophia dream career- Freedom to work as I wish with the Security that it will stay that way for as long as I desire it so
Now I will open myself up to certain images that will help bring these thoughts to fruition. I will scour magazines, books, Internet, any form of media that inspires me and drives me to stay on track with my personal vision statement. I will attach these images to a poster board and will put it somewhere where I can reflect/focus on what it is that I want in this life for myself and the loved ones I surround myself with.
You can make your own vision board for certain occasions, something desired, or for a generalized plan of your life as I am doing. This method has been used by historic legends of the past, huge businesses and corporations, successful celebrities, and everyday individuals like you and me. It is a very powerful tool that can incorporate great happiness and success in your life. Why not start right now?

What if....
For the past couple of years, with the raging popularity of "The Secret," I have been an avid studier of the law of attraction. I was deeply intrigued by the fantasy of merely thinking a thought and having that thought manifest into reality. The process, however, is not quite that simple. Always a thinker rather than a do'er, I wildly whipped up countless daydreams that only my wild imagination could conceive. Then the voice of reason would take over, snuffing out my daydreams as if they were but a flame on a candle. So I would wait and un-surprisingly nothing would happen. The same old routine, while not necessarily a bad thing, but certainly not this sublime existence I had cooked up time and time again. "OK, Megan, now its time to take it a step further," said my mind.
In the law of attraction, having a creative imagination is a virtue. Usually this is the hardest part for adults to re-cultivate, being that it was a thing of the childlike past and no longer needed in "grown-up life." We are so droned to think the same thoughts as society anyway, stuck in a cynical mind-set of "oh that is just not possible" and "get your damn head out of the clouds." But what if it were possible? What if all we ever wanted in this lifetime was within a single, believing thought, a mere daydream that could unlock all your fantasies within the switch of your brain? Well, I have been studying for quite some time now and while I am not going to go into full detail on what exactly the law of attraction is, for that would be a whole blog in itself, I would like to chronicle my experience with it. See, I haven't fully applied myself, only slightly, and I have seen the good and bad results based on the way I was feeling that day/month/year. I can certainly see the pattern. While I do give most things great effort I don't feel as if I have fully reached my potential in anything, and I think it would be interesting to see if I really can concoct the life of my dreams based on appreciation, love, good feelings, higher frequencies, silly daydreams....you get the point. Honestly what the hell have I got to lose anyway? I am already living a good life, now I am ready to take it a step further and get a taste of the Great life. La Dolce Vita Everyone! Here we go!
