Week 3 with Martha Beck is off to an interesting start. My hopes were that I would wake up Sunday, the enlightenment would simply be absorbed and I would feel instantly changed. However…it is actually WORK. Becoming a “better me” isn’t so easy. In all honesty, it’s really the vision board project that is freaking me out. I have never created one. I believe it is because I tend to be rather critical of myself. I know….perfect area to work on in OYou Boot Camp. I can actually hear Oprah in my ear saying “you hear the whisper, don’t you?” So for the challenge I am going to make one. I purposely put it out there so I can’t back out or pretend some emergency came up and toss it to the side. It is firmly on my list for this week. No matter what drama the world may throw at me….this week I will put my dream life into action.

Unfortunately, I have no clue where to begin. Part of me wants to grab significant images and items and arrange them…take a photo and “whoomp, there it is!” (Yeah, I know…that TOTALLY dates me.) But if I did that, the representation would be there, but the sentiment would be lost. I believe that when you create something with your hands – art, a craft, a garden…you embed your positive energy into the process and the item. That is where the beauty is born. Just as Maya Angelou believes you can leave energy in your walls, I believe you can leave it in your work. That puts a lot of pressure on me to do it right.

So…as I start to pour over ideas, PLEASE leave a comment if you have any advice! I could use all the help I can get at this point. AND if you happen to have a vision board of you own, please share. You never know where I’ll find my OYou inspiration. Wish me luck!
