What’s on your vision board for 2012?
(Prompt and badge via: http://www.themodchik.com/2011/12/reverb-11-call-me-crazy/)
One night several years ago, my friends and I had too much red wine at an secluded little Italian restaurant in Lincoln Park. We started playing a game: What land, sea, and air animal would you be?
Everyone agreed I would be a hummingbird, including me. But this year, I want to balance being this:
With a little more of this:
So I figured I'd start my vision board with those two aviary companions forming the axis, the baseline.
Then I added my word, which I has so much trouble choosing. I owe it to this blog post by Tracy; when I read it the word (Bazinga!) slid on like a glove.
My resolutions or goals for 2012 shoot off like little comets from the main axis. I have one for writing (daily, more fiction), one for career stuff, one for exploring (reading more, traveling), and one for volunteering--all things I want to devote myself to in 2012.
At the center is Akhilandeshvari. I would explain her, but this post does a much better job than I ever could. So check it out. :)
Sparkling off to the sides like constellations are the constants in my life that I never let go of: friends, family, yoga, and alone time. I think sometimes in the rush of the new year we are so focused on the changes that we forget the givens that need tending to all year long.
The result is my vision board for 2012, hanging next to my bed where I can wake to it for the next 363 days of the year, this Year of the Dragon. What's on your board?
Oh....the vision board is wondrous!

Love the vision board! I need to do another one. Mine is a couple years old and the first one, I ripped up. Time for a new one for sure. And I love that you used Bazinga! It's truly not my word. I stole it from Big Bang Theory. I so want a t-shirt with that on it! It's a great word! Constantly give to ourselves - is such a good thing to remember. We can't give to others - of ourselves if we don't give TO ourselves first -right? I hope that makes sense!

This is so neat! Simple and all-encompassing at the same time! Love Bazinga.

I popped the board open full size to see it in all its glory and am blown away by Akhilanda. Reading that has taken me places I didn't expect.
2012 is for you. And this thrills me.
