Kia ora Janet (and Cherie)
Congratulations on your recent column in the Weekender!
I’m sure readers will find your delightful contribution of
enthusiasm infused with pragmatic tips most helpful. To be honest, when you
introduced me to Vision Boards all those years ago, I was sceptical. But in
reading your article just now, I have realised I not only created a Vision
‘Board’ – I’ve created a whole ‘Room’!
As I look around me, filling every available space in my
‘work-from-home office’ I have stapled inspirational quotes, artwork (including
some of yours!), along with screes of photographic poetry, haiku, waiata and
mock ups of the jacket covers of books I am yet to finish writing. I also have
photos of my entrepreneurial heros, together with sales goals and revenue
projections and a beautiful mock up of what I originally proposed as NZ’s first
‘Virtual Hotel’ (which is now the ‘Look After Me Homestay
Network).
So in looking at my office with fresh eyes, as your article
inspired me to do, I realise my Vision ‘Room’ is a friendly marriage between
creativity and entrepreneurship. The most startling realisation though, and I
can hardly believe this – but this is exactly who I have become! Suddenly I feel
so completely different from the scientist at Scion I was just a few years ago
and yet the process has been so gradual, I barely noticed till now.
So thank you for pointing out the blinding obvious – I’m not
sceptical about Vision Boards anymore and I hope that some of your readers
become inspired enough to think about what their dreams and goals are and then
get their glue stick or stapler out.
Sadly, I have to leave this little rental house soon… but how
joyful I feel now at the prospect of creating a whole new vision board/room, all
over again!
With kind regards to you both,
Na
Julia
PS – Janet – loved your exhibition in the library, well done!
I’m still writing creatively and have started my own blog. Eg. I blogged
about that Jesus Christ Superstar show, did you see it? Wasn’t it amazing!? I
also wrote an article for Nevaeh recently (Rotorua’s On-line magazine, Heaven
spelled backwards) which tells a little of my journey that I suppose must have
stemmed from the ‘Vision Board’.
