The Crazee Chick's View of Life

Have you ever done a vision board?  If not, let me tell you, they are the bomb diggity!  They are a visual representation of your goals and dreams and are a great tool for helping you remember and focus on what you want to achieve.   I have faithfully done one for about the last seven years.  I love the process--the dreaming, the refining, finding the pictures and then smooshing them all on one page.  And, of course, if you know me you'll know that I love laminating and so that final touch solidifies my goals and makes them unchangeable. Put your vision board somewhere where you can see it every day.  I have two--one in my office and one in my bathroom (yes, both are laminated!).  Look at them and recall the excitement you felt when you dreamed the dreams.  Use the pictures to strengthen you when you're feeling low or when you've lost your focus.   It doesn't have to be pretty and it doesn't have to make sense to anyone but you....

Yes, we saw it. Yes, it was amazing. Yes, we want to see it again today. But we won't. Maybe next week!

I've been waiting for you.   2016, I'm ready! 2015 was a good year, but it wasn't my best.  In retrospect I realized that I learned more about myself in the 365 days of 2015 than I had in my whole 48 years of life.  Sometimes the learning was hard.  Okay, let's be honest, most of the learning was hard.  Learning is never easy. Think back to learning how to tie your shoes.  It was hard until you finally got it and then it was a cinch! How about the first time you drove a car? It wasn't as easy as it looked, was it?  For the first time you came to appreciate why mom would shush your endless chatter as she drove through the city. Think about learning math, chemistry...any form of academia...yikes, sometimes you could actually feel your brain stretching as it acquired the new knowledge.  Sometimes learning isn't so obvious though. Sometimes through the dredges of the day you find yourself pensive, melancholy, or introspective. ...
