Why Vision Boards are important to me

How do you create your visions for your life? 8 months ago I entered the world called: wedding planning. People kept asking me what was my vision and what was my inspiration for the wedding. The truth is, I didn't know what people meant. I didn't want to sound too full of myself or pompous, but my idea was to create an event that moved liked the Yuba river, had the friendliness of the trees, and the elegance of a red rose.

I know I have a tendency to think big, abstractly, and through emotions and visions. The largest goal of my life and my work has been to take the non- linear and break it down in a way, where I can talk, teach, and communicate in a way where people understand me.

Every year I make a vision board for myself, so at the beginning of the wedding planning, I went to my roots and made a wedding vision board. I put it in front of my yoga mat. As the months passed by, I went back to my intentions on my vision board. Vision boards have a way of anchoring all the decisions of life. I looked at my wedding vision board when I needed help making a decision.

When I looked at my vision board of the photos of the Yuba, I thought about the wedding and how could I create an atmosphere of connection, just like the way the rivers connect the mountains to the ocean. When I looked at the pine trees on my vision board, I thought about how can I create a community through my wedding, just like the ways the trees communicate to each other. When I looked at the red roses on my vision board, I thought about how can I encourage each guest to tap into their inner beauty.

Now that the wedding is over, I look at the vision board and I feel happy that it helped me communicate my images into words. Each Spring, I make my yearly vision board and now I'm in the process of making my 2024 vision board!
