My Vision Board Was A Failure
By anyone’s standards my vision board was a dismal failure. The care I’d put into it was sublime. Noble. Awe - inspiring. I would say even majestic. Eventually though, it turned on me, hanging on the wall, mocking me, like an angry whitehead on a model’s nose the day of a photo shoot. An abomination, an embarrassment, something for my eyes to avert. Carefully clipped pictures from glossy magazines, thought put into them, energy expended, placed next to the Googled images I’d printed out on the poster board I’d diligently purchased at Walgreens.

For those who aren’t familiar, Wikipedia defines a vision board as follows. “A vision board or dream board is a collage of images, pictures and affirmations of one’s dreams and desires, designed to serve as a source of inspiration and motivation, and to use the law of attraction to attain goals. The usefulness of vision boards has been endorsed by celebrities such as Jim Carrey, Ellen Degeneres, Oprah Winfrey and Steve Harvey."
