Turn Your Vision Board Into a Movie
Vision boards are a fantastic way to breathe life into your goals and dreams. Gary and I have done them for years and always have fun finding the perfect photo or phrase to put on ours. They hang in our bathroom so that we can be inspired each morning.
If you are new to the concept of a vision board, I highly recommend that you try it! After all, what you focus on expands, right? Creating one will allow you to visualize your dreams in new ways. They really help me get into the ‘feeling’ of what it will be like to have it.
I’m a big fan of cork boards so that I can change things out and move them around. It seems to keep the energy moving a bit more than gluing everything to poster board. In addition to finding pictures in magazines and online, I also keep a stack of plain index cards that I can draw my own pictures on which helps it feel more personal.
This past weekend, while at a vision board retreat, we tried something new and turned our vision boards into a movie using www.Animoto.com. I love my new movie! Now I can watch my vision board on my computer or my phone anytime I want!
Animoto is a super simple program to use. They have many different backgrounds to choose from and you can use their music or add your own. Here’s a snapshot from the movie that I created:
The only rule for vision boards is that they make you happy when you look at them. Some people prefer pictures, others prefer words. Some like to have everything very organized and structured, others are more like a collage. Whatever works for you. Don’t over-think it.
Give Animoto a try today and remember to just have fun!

Bet On Yourself VS The Market
Last week I shared how the end of August is a weird time – wanting to savor summer, while also shifting back into work mode. Turns out I’m not the only one this happens to! Thank you for all of the notes and feedback. I’ve found that when I’m not taking action, I spend WAY…
I Used To Dread The Last 2 Weeks Of August
Thirty years in real estate has taught me a lot of things. One of the best is this: I can finally see my own patterns. Like the one where I get twitchy every year mid-August. Part of me wants summer to stretch on forever. Part of me is itching for routine, order, and the satisfaction…
Beliefs = Actions = Results – It Matters Where You Start
August is an interesting month for me. I’m savoring the relaxed pace of summer, while also starting to think about Fall and shifting back into work mode. With a shift in focus I naturally start wondering what will happen. Will I be busy? Where will my clients come from? Will they be buyers or sellers?…
What Do You LOVE About Your Business?
I’m back!!! There’s been a lot going on lately, (more on that in a later post) and it’s been a few weeks since I’ve sent you a note. Needless to say, I’ve missed you! I’ve been moving through a lot of ‘life’ lately, and there’s been a common thread in my business that has surprised…
How Do You Want Summer To Feel?
Summer is often a season of expectations not meeting reality. I used to think my perfect summer meant iced tea on the patio while reading every day. For the record, that’s never happened. And for a while, I felt bad about it — like I was missing out, like I was doing summer wrong. Until…
You’re Not Behind, There Are Infinite Options
Your in box is about to fill up with emails about us being 1/2 through the year. You know – the ones that ask if you’re on track with your goals, and offer a solution to whip you into shape for the next 6 months. If you are having a great year – I celebrate…
Letting Go Of The Hustle Sounds Great, But You’ve Got a Business To Run
To be clear, I am 100% for less hustle, more flow, manifesting, receiving, regulating my nervous system, and letting things be easier. But somewhere between: “That sounds amazing” and “I’m a real estate agent – I need to generate clients and sell houses to earn an income” Things can get confusing. Because no matter how…
The Beauty of Not Doing It Alone
Thank you for being part of this community! I learned something beautiful and powerful last week. It was vulnerable to post about recalibrating, and being in the messy middle of grieving. Yet the conversations, emails, texts and notes have meant to much. To know that we are not alone is one of the greatest gifts…
Recalibrate In a Business That Runs 24/7
It happens to me every year about this time. The need to recalibrate. In a business that can run 24/7 – it’s easy to look up one day and realize, your batteries are drained and there’s no break in sight. Side note – It doesn’t have to be a 24/7 thing, but that’s a topic…
It’s Okay For Things To Be Different
I often find myself comparing things. I compare my business this year to years past.I compare my health and fitness to where I was 10 years ago.I compare how I show up and experience different life events. On the one hand – it makes perfect sense. Our brains crave predictability. It calms our nervous system.…
