Looking forward to the New Year

2014....What a year! Today the last day of the year.  Just about 6 and a half hours away from a brand new year!

365 days make up a year...and I plan to make the best of every day.  Most of those days were wasted in 2014.  2015 will not be a wasteful year. That is the ultimate goal...Don't waste any more time.  Yes I made a vision board, but that Vision Board is filled with things I have wanted to do for so long!  Things I wanted but never did and things I wanted but I let fear and insecurities stop me.  Goals can't be reached without a plan, without action, or without commitment.

2015...I am ready for you! 
Not 365 days...but 365 opportunities to move toward my goals. 
I will make the most of every opportunity.

Today December 31st 2014, I have registered for my first Photography Class at Samy's Photo School!  It's a basic course for my Canon 60d.  The lessons will be for specifically for my camera.  There is still so much about my camera I don't know, so this will help me so much!  The class is on February 7th..so one thing from my Vision Board underway!

2015 Vision Board

Trying something new for 2015.  A have a few days before the New Year rolls in, and the last few days, I am trying to prepare myself for a different 2015.  There was an event among some friends  of mine to create a vision board for 2015.  I was not 100% clear on what a vision board is, so let me give you some tidbits from what I found online.

What is a Vision Board?
A vision board is a tool used to help clarify, concentrate and maintain focus on a specific life goal. Literally, a vision board is any sort of board on which you display images that represent whatever you want to be, do or have in your life.  Making use of vision boards serves several purposes, some of which include helping you to:
  • Identify your vision and give it clarity.
  • Reinforce your daily affirmations.
  • Keep your attention on your intentions.

This appealed to me since I am such a visual person.  Why make Resolutions?  I think them up, rarely write them down and certainly I never keep them.  My group of friends made their Vision Boards with poster board and magazine clippings, but since I was out of town, and I don't consider myself the arts and crafts type, I was able to find an app in the App Store to create a Vision board on my phone!  The down side to the app is that I don't have a poster to hang somewhere, but the positive is, I was able to save my vision board as an image, which I have now save has my background image on my phone.  Since I am always with my phone, and always doing something on my phone...my vision board will be seen, many times throughout the day.   I will print the graphic and hang on my fridge and also on the bathroom mirror.  I think the more I can see it the better.

The app was very easy to use, there were a lot of graphics built into the app and if you wanted, you could use photos from your phone.  So if you are interested, the app is Iphone & Android friendly.  There is a quick tutorial on the webpage to help you navigate, but it's really easy to use.  Feel free to check it out if you are interested.  Jack Canfield - Free Vision Board App

So I am excited for 2015, It won't be an easy year, but it will be a year of change, a year of transformation and growth.  Here is my vision board for 2015
