Have you ever heard of "Dream Boards" or "Treasure Maps"?
A Dream Board is a visual picture of the dreams you have for your life. Some of my clients also use this concept to visualize their businesses too! It's their first business plan. One thing though...don't "get stuck" on your dream boards. We all have plans for our future and it's important to watch the universe for signs of "it's" plans for us. Otherwise we might miss out on some great opportunities!

Purchase a large piece of paper such as "oak tag" or "poster board" in whatever color you like! Also, find 4 thumbtacks and glue or scotch tape. You now have the beginnings of your Dream Board. In the center of your board put a picture of you that you really enjoy viewing.

Whatever your dreams, goals, etc., start cutting out pictures that symbolize your dreams and paste them on your board. Or draw the pictures. Can't draw perfectly? Draw it anyway! (If I can, you can.)

What are some of your dreams? Remember to include all areas of your life on your board... Career/Business, Relationships (self-others), Money, Recreation/Play, Health/Well Being. Get specific.... real specific and descriptive!

Go for it!! Enjoy it!! Have fun with it!!
Tack it on the wall.

As your dreams continue to grow (or change), keep adding to it. Make it the last thing you look at before you go to sleep. Spend a few moments in front of it before you start your day! Special thanks to Edie Peirera-Hulbert for teaching me the concept of Dream Boards, and to Susan Ban Breathnach and the 4T Prosperity Program for expanding my knowledge.
