2011 Vision Board

This is my vision board for 2011. It came out of a group experience that I led at a party hosted by  Dr. Deb Kern. Rather than starting with an idea and looking for specific images, I allowed myself to follow a more intuitive process. I led everyone through a guided visualization, afterwards I tore out any image I was drawn to. The most important thing was I didn't censor myself.



Reflecting upon the images I chose and the placement, I've found multiple meanings. 
Each element holds inspiration and guidance for my year.

Maps are Free Coloring Pages


Maps are for coloring

Color outside the lines--or just make  up your own lines



As an art teacher, I used to look down on coloring books. Then my kids reminded me how fun they are. With my Art Snob Inner Critic out of the way, I could admit that I LOVE coloring! It's so soothing and meditative--and dare I say--creative!

Open up your mind and see how many things you can find to color. This map from a fishing trip today made the ride back home a creative playdate. What can you find to color in today?
