2011 Dreams

I can't believe that it is almost 2011 already!  REALLY!  I'm still feeling like it should just now be fall!  So strange.  The years do go by faster and I get older.

I completed my vision/dream board yesterday and want to share it with you all here!  I'm happy with the way it turned out, not as colorful as last year's and not as many pictures, but that is just the way it goes!

On the back of the page, I listed out my goals/dreams for the year. 

I didn't take a photo, but this is what I put on it:

Pray more
Love more
Laugh more
Work harder
Play harder
Get organized
5 Star Diamond Coach
Triple my income
Complete Turbo Fire and Brazil Butt Lift Rotation
Do a Pull up unassisted
Increase readership/participation on the blog
Do more yoga
Travel as much as possible
Eat more fruits and vegetables
Drink more water
Learn Spanish
Have fun!

I think those are all do-able!

I posted the Jan 2011 Challenge on the message boards!  I hope that you will join in.  I love getting to know people better through the message boards.  It will be a challenge, but we can all get through it together!

Discussion:  Do you list out your goals each year?  Do you make a vision/dream board?  If you do, I'd love to see a photo, please share!

a big sigh

That is how I feel today.  Just a big sigh!  Christmas is over, I still have to put away the tree, probably will get that done next weekend and I think I'm done cleaning up after the big day!  *sigh*

We had a GREAT Christmas.  Our family is ever growing, but we managed to get a family photo!  I really love getting to spend time with my family.  Nothing better!

The Whole Gang

Our family

So, I am now looking forward to the new year!  2010 was a good year for us, many great things happened.  Brian got off his crutches and is walking fairly normally!  Nick and Lauren got engaged, I reached several of my goals, we traveled as much as possible and had a blast at just about everything we did! 

I'll be making my dream/vision board this week, I'm planning my workouts and my goals for 2011!  I'm going to be doing a FULL round of Turbo Fire.  I started yesterday.  It is one of my favorite workouts and I know that I will see amazing results!

This is my vision board from last year. 

Many of the things I wanted accomplished were marked off.  I did more yoga, I had more fun, we got a RV and traveled, I cooked more, ate healthy most of the time, spent time with family and friends.  I didn't run a 5K, I have tried running on several occasions and my knees just won't cooperate.  I'm okay with that.  I still can't do a pullup without assistance, and I don't have the body of my dreams - yet!  I know what I need to work on this year!

Make your own vision board, it is really easy, I highly encourage it!  Just cut out photos, sayings, anything that you like, whatever you are drawn to.  Then get a poster board and glue or tape the items on.  Then I frame mine and keep it on the fireplace in the family room.  This way I am looking at it daily and reminding myself what I want to accomplish!  Last year I was mostly family oriented after Brian's accident.  I was all about having fun and living life.  I'm not sure what this year's journey will be, but I know it will be good!  I'll be posting a photo of my new board as soon as I get it done this week!  I'd love to see yours!

Discussion:  Do you feel relieved when the holidays are over?  Do you use a vision board?

Fit Club Monday - Traveling again

I am up getting ready to head to the airport.  It truly has been a life-changing weekend for me.  I can't wait to get home and implement all this into my life!  Not to mention the fact that I can NOT wait to see Brian.  I have missed him!!

Since I will be traveling today, there will not be a fit club tonight. 

We made our dream notebooks while we were here.  I took a photo of mine.  I love the way it turned out. I know that some people are skeptic of dream or vision boards, but several of the things I put on mine from the beginning of the year have already happened.  Put your wish, dream or vision out there for the world to see and hear and think positively about it and it will happen!

I hope that you have a extraordinary day!

I am grateful!

It's Sunday and that means it is time to be grateful and thankful!

grate·ful/ˈgrātfəl/

Adjective: Feeling or showing an appreciation of kindness; thankful.
 
 
I am so grateful and thankful for the opportunity to go on our vacation, for my family, my job and for all my friends.  I really do appreciate each and every one of you!

This really is your life and just like today's song says, are you who you want to be?  If not, then make some changes.  You deserve to be happy, healthy and what you want to be!  Make it happen!

Set some goals, write them down, make a vision board, bring those changes into your life and be thankful for them!

Enjoy the beauty around you, really pay attention to it.  Give to others, be a kind person, and smile more, share your happiness with others, you never really know what they are going through and a smile, a kind gesture, hug or sweet word may be just what they are needing today!  My prayer today is that you are blessed beyond your wildest dreams!

Have a wonderful Spirit Sunday!  Enjoy your day with your family and be sure to give thanks!
