gone vision boardin'

Maybe it's leftover summer energy, maybe it's the start of the school season; regardless, I am motivated and somewhat anxious this early September. Trying to channel some of this energy into writing has been effective but I often lack direction and progress in much of a swirly-zigzag fashion, moving back and forth between different sections of my story, and rendering indecisive towards some of the details.

My frustration makes me itch and I want to see what I am working toward in more of a visual way, so0o0o I got together with another forward-thinking sister and we had a crafty night of collaboration and connection.

After a smudge of sage, we grounded and took time to set our intention and a swirl of visions came to me. So I'm thinking, "sweet, cuz this is a groovy/dreamy vision board,after all" and I really tried to open my mind and observe my thoughts.

I saw many things, most often a house where I can have my family and my garden, a hub peace and love and a lovely, natural way to give back to the planet. I saw myself as an active, healthy gardener, steady in her yogic practice and genuine in her passion for story-telling and the written word. A place and a position to truly call my own, as independent, sustaining, and eclectic in my career and lifestyle as in my spirituality.

After snippin, gluein, and clippin down a complex path of thought and emotion, here is the end product.

While my fingers were organically arranging what my head and heart were collaborating, I was caught up in good company. When I stepped back and checked it out after finishing I was touched by, what I deemed a beautiful, pertinent motivator to look at everyday. So far, working like a charm.
