Hellooooooooo 2023! We are in the place to be! Thankful and grateful … let’s get purpose filled! Y’all … it’s a new, fresh, brand-new, right of the package, poppin tags NEW YEAR! I normally am not this excited about a new year – who am I kidding … yes I am. This year feels different, we are years past the original COVID-19 lock downs. We are all blessed to be here. There are a lot of us who passed away and are here, but we will always remember so their memories live forever. For those of us who are still living on this earth, I hope you are making the best of each day … doing you, on purpose.

This year, I decided to focus on purpose. Each year, I normally select a “focus”. Instead of a resolution, I choose to focus on something I want to improve upon in a positive way. This year, my focus is “Purpose.” How does purpose shape life? For me, purpose has been different things at different times in my life. This year, purpose means honing my most authentic personal happiness. Last year, a ton of life changing events affected my level of happiness. I am sure you can say the same. This year, how about we decide to go totally wild and unfiltered with purpose filled happiness?

Sure I am down, but how do we start, you ask? Well, I am so happy you did … it all starts with creating a simple, easy, and personal … VISION BOARD! Yessssssssssssssssssssssss! I know, it seems super cheesy, but let me tell you – I have completed several vision boards in the past, and after recently moving I found all my past vision boards. While reminiscing over them, I realized that 90%, if not more of my “Visions” have come to past and manifested. It is time to do another one – this year deserves purpose filled attention.

Creating a vision board is so much fun and easy to do, and only takes about 1-hour to complete. All you need are a poster board, some magazines, clip art, pictures, words, markers, tape/glue sticks and anything you want to put on a poster board. You can also do this as a digital vision board, which is just as much fun. Once done, place it in plain view, for daily reflection. Before you know it – photo by photo, you will start to see positive changes. If you don’t believe me –try it for yourself. Even if only a few things come to pass, the most you have lost is an hour of time … not bad for putting good vides out in the world for your positive, purposeful life.
