Vision Board - what will you ask the universe?

What if you could launch your next goal by creating a beautiful piece of art? I have been writing intention statements and using vision boards for years in my personal and business life with incredible results. It has made my dream of going to Europe a reality, it has helped me sell two houses quickly and well above the asking price.  In turn, the universe paved the way to me to pack up and make a new life in Bellingham as a working artist.  Whenever I start a new project or feel a big dream brewing, these are the first tools I use to start my planning process.

Pair a vision board with the art of powerfully written intention statements, and you have created a linguistic-visual harmonizer that will serve as a frequency magnet for your biggest dreams and most soulful desires. You will learn the science behind vision boards, and come home with a board that you can use to inspire you to make things happen. Bring a photograph of yourself and magazines to share.
