Creating A Vision...

It is the ultimate wisdom of the mountains that a man is never more a man than when he is striving for what is beyond his grasp.

~James Ramsey Ullman

Talk about inspiring....

We got together last night (myself and some of my business partners) to create our visions via dreamboards. Sooooo much fun! We used the banquet room @ Cindy's restaurant, Mandolina's in Conifer (http://www.oldgloryantiquesinc.com/MandyHome.html) where we got to eat the most incredible food (yum!) while talking about what we want to create in our lives. It doesn't get much better than that... CREATING YOUR LIFE...

We're talking about a life by design, what could be better?

Here are some photos from the event....

Sharing our visions...

Feels good to have a vision.... and my husband was certainly inspired when I came home and showed him the new home I designed for us!

It was especially inspiring to hear about everybody else's dreams.... it sure is fascinating what we're able to create.... not to mention how different we all are. And it's true about us not needing to worry about there being "enough to go around", cause we all want different things....

And, as Charles Kingsley so eloquently put it, "We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about."

So get out your magazines and create your life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a dreamboard party.... w/ your husband or wife, kids, friends, neighbors, church, a club you belong to... you get the picture (no pun intended!). THEN, send me an email and tell me how it went (and send pictures, too!!!). This can be truly transformational....

And once all of the dreams become reality you get to do it all over again...

Get inspired or get out of the way....

"The difference between great people and everyone else is that great people create their lives actively, while everyone else is created by their lives, passively waiting to see where life takes them next. The difference between the two is the difference between living fully and just existing."

Well, I'm back from Unseminar 3 which took place over the weekend on Lake Travis in Austin, Texas. What an incredible weekend!!!

I learned soooooo much and I got to hang out w/ Joe Vitale and Pat O'Bryan (a couple of my heros!!!!), not to mention Amy Scott Grant (our current Featured Empowered Mom, she was one of the speakers as well!).

We were even blessed enough to have Alan Abel w/ us... the world-famous professional hoaxer. What a treat! We became fast friends.... he's a riot!

The theme of the weekend was "The Defining Moment". We heard about some of the defining moments in Joe's life and got to look at some of ours. It's amazing how some of the most defining moments at events like these tend to happen on the breaks, in conversations w/ the other participants and speakers. One of my defining moments this weekend happened in my hotel room in the middle of the night while conversing w/ my roommate who I had just met for the first time that morning. Another was in a late-night conversation w/ Pat O'Bryan while he was sipping scotch and smoking cigars. Real ah-ha moments. Life-changing experiences that I will never forget.... turning points. They come when you least expect them. It's really a beautiful thing...

Anyway, it was a sensational weekend and I'll be looking forward to the next one. I'll keep you posted....
