I had a general idea of what it might look like and what the concept was. A Vision Board is a collection of magazine clippings that represent your goals, dreams, and a representation of who you would like to be, put together as a collage and glued on to a hard piece of paper or card board. </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Noelani and I were going through a tough time in our lives. We are both in our mid 20s and were in the beginning stages of our divorces. This was the perfect time for us to regroup, collect our thoughts, focus on our futures, and create our Vision Boards. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">By the way...it'</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">s a little strange for me to share this information to random people who I don't even know, especially regarding the trial and tribulations of my personal life. But, I am hoping our story will help others (especially young women like us who are going through relationship troubles).</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>As soon as Noelani and I set a date to create our Vision Boards, I drove to Kahala Mall and walked into the stationary store. I love doing things that allow me to be creative! So, my idea was to purchase accessories to decorate my vision board, besides the normal magazine tears. I bought different colored polka-dotted ribbons, butterflies, flowers, and mermaid stickers. I spent a good hour in the store: my way of therapy...SHOPPING!!! ;) I was feeling better already. LOL.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I brought all of my goodies to the North Shore. I met up with Noelani and a few of her friends at Ehukai Beach. If you have not been to Ehukai Beach yet, it is most definitely a must see. The ocean, sand, and surroundings are pure and gorgeous! Since we were on the beach, I decided to grab a hand full of sand to incorporate into our project. Later that evening, we went to Sheradon's house for dinner and to work on our Vision Boards. Over dinner and wine, Sheradon shared with us that she and her husband had created Vision Boards (before they met), and since then, everything has come true, including finding each other. This was pretty inspiring to me.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>We had magazines, accessories, scissors, and glue scattered in the center of the living room. We were ready and motivated to begin. At first, I searched through magazines not knowing exactly what to look for. I had so many thoughts and ideas all day, I wasn't sure what to focus on. So, as we sat down, "Indian style," on Sheradon's living room floor, sipped on our glasses filled with red wine, and chatted and giggled about what we wanted in life, I began cutting out anything and everything that I wanted to do, see, go, feel, be, etc... After a good hour or two, I had a pretty large and random pile of images, words, and phrases cut out of the magazines. I then categorized the magazine cuttings. Wow! I realized that majority of my cuttings were ocean and health related. I was pretty surprised that I didn't have many cuttings that symbolized a relationship. I was finally focused on what I could do for me and not what I could do for a guy or what he could do for me. At this moment I was aware that I needed to truly work on my own happiness. I weeded out all the unnecessary cuttings. I focused on simplifying my board. I even glued a butterfly, engraved with the word "simplify," on the bottom right of my Vision Board. As the night went on, my mind was less and less cluttered. Connecting with friends and taking the time to create a new chapter for my life was healing and nourishing for my mind and soul. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>As the night went on and led into morning, Sheradon decided to go to bed. Noelani and I were so determined to complete our boards, we decided to transfer to Noelani's house. We glued our clippings, ribbon, sand, shells, and everything else we fell in love with on to our boards. 4:00 am, yes, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. </div><div><br /></div><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnBuAjozmlW7xQQJvMnc97g1rWxfBKsPe_aHYQocBAdOG0q2NbUcYOi7LBh9qOD82YNPDlG83E0JAKFBk_D_ZRBvK7qZXUfORWRf9QS8lSsx4uI6-EtCCrQ72lrAGRNHeXmmAe9CcB26k/s320/IMG_0403.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344453642418660338" /><div><br /></div><div>Noelani and I created our Vision Boards during the beginning of May.

I have had many positive experiences and made many new friends who are just as ambitious as Noelani and I are. It is much easier to receive positive energy if you are open to it. Therefore, open your mind and heart and you will receive so much good in your life. I've listed and included photos of some of the wonderful happenings below.
