Vision Board & more!

Hello awesome & amazing souls! I KNOW you are making your dreams come true! I know you are passionate about making an impact on this world for Jesus! I know you have a unique imprint to leave on this world! I know it because you're here and God says so. So there, try and argue with that! :) (or even better, just accept it for what it is and cooperate with the good work God is doing in your life~! Check out Philippians 2:13) And if you happen to be a non-believer visiting this page, my first & foremost message to you is "LIVE LOVED...because you already are." John 3:16

So much creative inspiration is coming my way these days. Here we go!

Vision Board
First, let me please encourage you to make your very own vision board. Grab some junk mail or old magazines and start ripping out pictures & words that resound with your spirit & soul. No thinking about it - all spirit & soul guided! Just flip the pages and see what you have a guy reaction to. Then glue or tape or paperclip (or whatever) these spirit words & pics onto a piece of paper. Make it as big as a wall mural, posterboard, sheet of paper or make a mini-vision board on an index card that you can carry in your wallet. The point is, MAKE IT! Also, don't limit yourself based on how much time you have. JUST MAKE IT! I made this one when I thought I really didn't have the time to do it and was having a pretty krapola day but I knew I needed to MAKE IT and it's been a blessing ever since!  (this one took me about 30 minutes - less time than I 'thought' I needed - I had on Wayne Dyer's PBS special in the background). After you make it, look at it with your spiritual eyes, thank God for who He's created in you and place it somewhere you will see it often. (Perhaps bedside). It will serve a powerful purpose as it continues to draw your attention & focus back to the things that are most important to you~.
*A sidenote to this is that I created my first vision board at about age 15. I've believed in the 'power' of making these ever since. However, for a very long time I didn't make one. Now that I've actually made my first one again, I am loving it and God is using it to help my narrow my attention and focus on the things He's created as my purpose!) Make one! If you need some extra encouragement or have questions about making one email me!  Alleka1@aol.com Or even better yet, let's get together and make one - that would be fun!! Coffee & vision!!!

My Business Strategy
Lol, isn't this the best?! Seriously, one day the thought popped into my mind (probably from my inner critics) that most people probably have a business strategy. I've never really thought of myself as a strategic thinker and the thought of coming up with some super structured & strategic plan sounded very draining so...here it is...my business strategy! I shall douse my work in God's Word and I believe that is an EXCELLENT strategy!

Magnify the Lord
I've been in the process of sorting out some major decisions in my life lately. I've been reading the Bible along with many other great books that offer excellent advice on the situation I'm currently going through (more on the later). However, this morning (and as was preached on Sunday) I needed to stop, put the books away, stop trying to figure things out and just spend time magnifying Jesus in my life. He's so big, magnify, magnify! As I did that, the message I received was, "I am provided for." Take some time today to magnify our Lord!
