This Saturday was the big bonanza! Yes, I am confident enough to type bonanza in reference to my party. My Vision Board Party 2012 was an overwhelming success.
For all who are not familiar with vision boarding, it is the concept of putting your dreams and goals for yourself in a physical and visual format. What you see, you can ask, believe and receive.I know a lot of secular people may associate vision boarding with some new age philosophy but this is biblical.
"And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it." Habakkuk 2:2
Many of us have dreams and great thoughts but we never put pen to paper and run. I am running now.
We started the afternoon with lunch. Next, we participated in a short exercise designed to help focus on what we really want out of life. I asked a series of ten questions and we all had fifteen seconds or less to complete them.
The questions included things like:
- What makes you smile?
- If you were a teacher of anything, what would you teach?
- What activities, when doing them, make you lose track of time?
With our minds freshly stirred, we began cutting out words, phrases and pictures from magazines and posting them on our boards.
No board was actually finished by the end of the party but we all went a away with a great start.
The best part of the afternoon was the conversation. It was nice to have a supportive environment to share your dreams out loud. This group of women is exceptionally talented. God is truly amazing bringing us all together.
My lesson of the day:
I have some extremely, smart, beautiful and talented friends.
Some pics from the event. I forgot to have someone take my picture 🙁 I did take one of my board. It is the black one.
