I’m sure you have heard of vision boards, to help people visualize the future they want. You can make it online or in person. You can draw it, use stickers, cut out pictures from magazines, you can personalize it any which way.

I have made a few vision boards in my day. One was titled, Life Before 30, and another was “in the next five years”.

Now, some of the things I put on my vision board came true!

I have gardened, I have chickens, I have tried canning, I have made new recipes, I have lost a little weight, I have tried different exercises, I have read so many books and listened to so many podcasts. I have a home that I own (thanks to the generosity of my grandparents and family), I have been able to work from home or at least very close to home for the last few years.

There are, however, a lot of things that have NOT come true on my vision board. So I am going to make a new one, but instead of a vision board I am calling it an Action Board.

Action implies that there will be just that… action.

I’m giving myself until March 20 to get it done and it will be a 5 year action board. I do things in Spring, because the calendar new year is in the middle of winter… I don’t want to do things in winter, I want to hibernate. But come Spring I will start to awaken as the earth does.

Maybe in March I will share some of my goals. Hopefully I will have read enough self help books that I am further on the route to get what I want. : )
