Ashley, it’s awesome to start doing vision collages at your age. Like you said, it will help you figure out the kind of path you want to take in college and beyond. It would be a good bonding activity for a sisterhood event because it gives you the space to share your values and vision with each other in a personal way.

also… in addition to what I wrote previosuly, a vision collage will be a very beneficial activity for me especially I have recently finished my first year of college and although I have a rough idea on what I want to do and be in the future, it would be great to visually compose it on paper.

I LOVE the idea of vision collage. I am so determined to do it with my friends when I get back to college. Even better, being deputy of scholarship for my sorority it woudl be a great activity to do as a sisterhood event. It will be fun and also very helpful for all of us.

I know, I had a good feeling about 2010 as well! I am relieved that after such an angsty journey with Reschool Yourself that I seem to be on the path I want to be.

You’ve definitely had some big changes in your life, one after the other! Can’t wait to see what you put on your vision collage. The act of doing it really helps you reflect on what’s important to you right now, and then looking at it afterward reminds you.

What a fantastic year it has been so far! I had a good feeling about 2010, and I’m so happy it has been a year of big, positive changes for you. I love the idea of making a vision collage, but I’ve never actually sat down to do it. I feel like I’m always jumping from one major life change to another and don’t give myself the time to reflect on what my goals are. This is great inspiration to make this a project when Brian gets home.

Thank you, Sara! I feel the same way when I read what you write.

I aspire to have a vision board like yours, because as you said, it gives the flexibility to change where you focus your energy. I used to have one but found that I wasn’t changing up the images much. Maybe I’ll put up a bulletin board close to my desk so I can have the commitment of the collage and the fluidity of the board.

Melia, I loved reading this and learning more about you and your goals. I feel more kindred to you each time I read something that you write!

My vision board is constantly changing–a large bulletin board above my desk with ladybug push pins, quotes, photos, drawings by my daughter, mementos, and so on. My main focus lately has been “recovering” the person I was before I had a child–not to completely resuscitate her, of course, because that’s impossible, but to bring some of her back.
