I have been considering buying this book. I have seen John Assaraf on The Secret, inspirational movie, and thought it was a brilliant idea. I have tried the Facebook application that does this online, however, there were many problems.
The reason I am bringing this up is as I was cleaning out things from our underbed storage, and subsequently throwing things away, I found old posters that I made when I was a teenager and aspiring to become a model. Yes, another one of the things that I did not follow through with.
Anyway, my point is that each poster I made was with pictures clipped out of fashion magazines. The inspiration was to collect pictures of models wearing clothes that I liked, hair styles, jewelery, make up colours, and models that I admired for their looks and body types. I did have some serious issues during that time about my body, but I won't get into that now.
My point is that as I was looking at these old posters today, I saw styles that have become a part of my fashion history already. A pair of satin pants that looked like jeans-had those. Satin skirts- did that. Evening gowns-did that. Funky shoes-did that....although I would never have predicted my bright red Fluevogs! (which I will NEVER get rid of) Anyway, my point is that in my teenage years I desired these "things" and in my twenty's after having forgotten all about it, actually had a lot of them in my closet at some point. I know it is superficial, but the point of realising this is very clear.
Vision boards do work....it may just take a little longer to come true than we originally want.
So, after I write that fricken-damned list I will spend some time with the magazines at Chapters and create a board of my own. I think it would be a good thing for my hubby to do, too.
Have you done a Vision Board or something similar? Let me know about it, and if you have found it to come true for you.

I have not done one myself, but I have a friend back in V town that did a few and really enjoyed them. I never got into them in much detail with her, I thought it was a personal thing and well i just didn't ask. I remember her talking about them and saying that they helped her visualize what she wanted in her life and helped her try to attain it by having a clear focus. It is great idea.
mags at chapters? they will let you just cut them up?
No of course not!! but if I find a magazine or three that have more pics that I like then I will buy them...then take them apart!
