How Vision Boards Can Change Your Life

How Vision Boards Can Change Change Your Life

If you don’t believe me, read on

Back in 2008, I was getting ready to graduate from MBA school and started a vision board with Blogger. I was excited and nervous to move back to China. [Side note: I told my mom at 10 that the Forbidden City used to be my house and I wanted to learn Chinese and move to China. I studied abroad in Beijing in 2001.] Due to my previous experience with wanting something so much and it happening, I figured why not outline the rest of what I wanted in life.

Type A and Perfectionism

So, in the past few years that I've been thinking about starting this blog, I had thought about the various platforms (WP.org, WP.com, Blogger) and some that I have found since I've researched platforms at my current job (Zoho, Bitrix24, Google Sites).  I was most familiar with Blogger as that is how I hosted a blog when I lived in China, but that was also 10 years ago.  

My Why

I have been thinking about starting this blog for over 2 years.  I have gone through I can't tell you how many fonts, designs, palettes, journals, notebooks, pens.  You name it.  Then, I actually started to create different websites.  I think I've created the same website at least 5 times now on different platforms.  Finally, I decided I just have to begin because well, why not?

I love journaling, I've blogged in the past about a totally different topic, China, which is still my passion, but it seems like the right time to begin something fresh and new.  So here I am...trying to find my WHY.  I have found a lot of it over the years through self-reflection, writing, being introspective, reading, and most recently through my husband and little Bella Boo.

 
Ultimately, I want to work for myself so I have the freedom to raise my little girl, have financial freedom, am not constrained by debt, and to express myself publicly through the written word.  I look forward to the adventure.  For life truly is always a magical adventure.
