This is a journal of hope for the journey to a place of representation and publication. It's as much about a dream as it is about honing a craft, dealing with rejection, finding acceptance and growing in endurance. It's about this writer's life, plain and simple, with all of its struggles as well as its triumphs.At the close of 2010, I created a beautiful "Vision Board." Well, before our move back home to Florida, I hastily disposed of it (Ughhhh!) and have regretted it ever since. That makes two that I've now lost.
So the other day, my dear friend and I spread out over my dining room table our craft supplies, magazines, baubles and shells, as well as whatever else we thought we may need, and created new ones for our lives. (I highly encourage this. As personal as a dream/vision board is, sometimes it's a wonderful thing to share the creation of it with someone close to you who "gets" you, and encourages you in your life's aspirations.)
So, over mimosas, cuban sandwiches, and great conversation, we meticulously pieced together the hopeful stories of our lives to come. There will be additional ones, as well.
It's full of sayings and words that capture the essence of what I see. Daily affirmations and the bold print that speaks so well to me. The next will be pictorial in nature.
I had someone ask me what a "Dream Board" was. So, I figured I'd repost my original blog entry on the subject from back in November, to bring clarity to what I believe these boards to be about.
The following is my post from November 2010:
Love this and am feeling inspired to break my new cork board out of its plastic wrapping....I bought it over a year ago! (Yikes!)
I'm sooooooooooo glad you're back!!
Thanks, Sweetie! You need to pull it out and do some creative vision casting!
xoxo, CJ
P.S. I'm glad I'm back, as well. ;-)
