Hi There,

Tomorrow my daughter Kasie turns 12! She's quite an amazing kid and seems to be handling her journey into adolescence as gracefully as possible. It's not always easy for her, or us, but we're finding our way. Tomorrow we'll be hosting a birthday party for her and 7 of her closest friends. We'll be driving them between school, our home, and back to school for their first school dance! Remember those years? Middle school children are my heroes. In fact, because you're reading this I know you made it through middle school and because of that I know there is nothing you can't do! :)

The topic of vision boards has come up a lot in the last week so I thought I'd dedicate this issue to just that and introduce to you:

LifeOnTrack.com's WORLD FAMOUS, Action-Focusing, Dream-Attracting, Power-Boosting, Success-Building Vision Board Process

Last year I came up with a new way of creating a vision board and I have to say it was my best one ever. It worked so well for me this year I wanted to share it with you.

You'll find how-to instructions in this week's brand new article plus a picture of my PERSONAL vision board from last year! Enjoy and have FUN with this process.

Next week I'm hosting another brand new teleclass: Passions into Profit. The topic of this teleclass: If you know, deep in your heart, 2008 is your year to honor your dreams, feel more focused, live more purposefully, manifest your destiny, AND make as much money as you want while doing it, I'll reveal how I did it and how you can do it too, this year! Please register right here!

Bye for now...I'll see you again next week!

Wishing you happiness and success,

LifeOnTrack.com's WORLD FAMOUS, Action- Focusing, Dream-Attracting, Power-Boosting, Success-Building Vision Board Process

Ready to have a little fun?

Good, because that's exactly what you'll have as you create a vision board that is a perfect reflection of your dreams!

There are many, many ways to create a vision board. Basically, a vision board is something you create to anchor your dreams visually.

Anchors are important because they serve as reminders of what we most want and what we hold most dear.

The LifeOnTrack.com Vision Board process is simple, unique and powerful. Here's what you'll need for supplies:

Poster board in the color of your choice
Old magazines
A nice picture of yourself you can duplicate
Pens, markers, and other things to "accessorize" your board
Computer and printer
Scissors, glue and tape

Process

1. Get grounded. Take a few deep, relaxing breaths and feel yourself growing calm, open and inspired.

2. Imagine your best life. What are your hopes and dreams for your future...let's say three years from now? Imagine your ideal life (including business) in as much detail as possible for all the KEY areas of your life; home, family, career, spiritually, health, money, fun. Allow these images to flood your mind and sweep through your body. You should feel really good right now!

3. Now, with your eyes still closed, imagine your life this year. What are your wishes for the next 12-15 months? What do you need to do to create those wishes?

4. Open your eyes. Look at your vision board and imagine it has three sections. One section is for BE. One is for DO. The other for HAVE.

5. At this point you can begin putting your vision board together. You can see on mine the top section of my vision board is devoted to BE. The middle to DO. The bottom to HAVE. You can place your Be, Do, and Have sections on the board wherever you like.

BE Section

6. The power of your board is in your BE section. Vision boards aren't only about what you WANT. They're also about who you need to BE to get what you want. In fact, that needs to come first.

For example: Do you WANT TO BE successful? Then how must you BE in your life to attract success? Confident? Success-minded? Abundant?

Do you want to be skinny? Then how must you BE in your life to be skinny? Appreciative (of your body)? Active? Allowing (of good health)?

Cut out words that reflect how you wish to BE. Happy, Peaceful, Abundant, Power-filled, Friendly, Forgiving, Joy-filled, Purpose-filled, Successful, Balanced, etc.

Also cut out images that anchor your words. You'll notice on my vision board I have a cutout of a lotus flower. The lotus flower is symbolic for wisdom, gratitude, etc. It's the visual reminder I chose to remind me to live in a state of grace.

DO Section

7. Take a look at my board above. What do you notice about the DO section? It's all about action!

Your DO section should reflect the 3-5 things you can DO to create the life you most want.

Do you want better health? Cut out pictures of someone exercising. Do you want more friends in your life? Cut out pictures of people that look like the friends you'd like to have.

Now, to add a little fun and energy to your board take the photograph of yourself, copy it several times and then cut out just your head. I know, it sounds funny! Paste your head on all of your DO images.

On my board you'll see a woman running, but if you look close you'll see my face pasted on a woman's body whose running! OK, I have to admit this looks hysterical BUT the great thing is it helps you see YOU actually DOING what you want to do! After seeing it enough times your subconscious will start believing it. When that happens...you'll be off and running!

HAVE Section

8. Your HAVE sections is all about the things you WANT. More money, vacations, hardwood floors, fun, etc.

Here's what's cool: When your vision board is complete you'll se how everything on your board works together. Your BE will align well with your DO's, your DO's will align well with your HAVE's...and so forth. This alignment is important because it will be hard to get what you want if the whole of you - your being and your doing - isn't aligned with what you want.

Helpful Tips

· Keep it simple. The more simple the more focused you'll be. With that said, don't leave anything off your board if you really want it! Is there a new home in your future? Find a picture of your ideal home. Even if it's a few years away keep the dream of your new home in front of you.

· Edit. Before you tape or paste anything on your board arrange it and then do a quick edit. Check to see that your board looks good and more importantly feels good to you. Take a day or two and see if anything's missing and then add to your board if there is.

· Use words and images. If you can't find the words and images you need in magazines use your computer to write out the words you want in the color and style you want. That's what I did. It only takes a minute to do so and it added a lot of authenticity to my board.

· Be specific. If your dream house is a one-story rambler don't put a picture of a 2-story walkout. The universe likes specifics!

· Keep it very personal. Your vision board is for your eyes only. You only need to share it if you want to. You never want to be in a position where you need to make excuses for your vision board or apologize for it. Some people won't get it. That's their problem, not yours!

· Look at your board often! Once a day isn't too much!

· When you look at your board visualize yourself BEING, DOING, and HAVING everything on your board in detail and with feeling! Your board is something that will help you visualize the life you want in greater detail. The universe likes detail!

When you're done with your vision board take a picture of it and send me a copy! I'd love to see your work of art!
