It’s been a long day here and I’m quite tired and still have more commitments for the evening so I decided I’ll share my One Little Word for February with you instead. I’ll add some thoughts along with it so it’s more meaningful.
This month’s assignment was to create a vision board. I made one of these in 2011 for Karen’s class. I’m not a vision-board kind of person. Not sure why and not sure what that even means. But I just know that I don’t do them each year. So when I first watched the assignment I was all blah about it.
But I am a good student and I wanted to do my homework anyway. I knew from my experience before that I would do it digitally and have it available to add to my moleskines as well as my OLW binder.
So I opened up Pinterest and typed “present moment” into the search. I found a ton of boards, went through a whole bunch of them, tagged photos I liked, and then opened all of them in photoshop and just dragged and dropped, and moved and shuffled until I was happy with what I got. I tried to fit in as much as I could. I ended up with this:
I will admit that I love it. It has so much of what resonates with me right now. Last time, I’d deliberately added some images that were important to me, but this time I just pulled whatever spoke to me without any rhyme or reason.
My favorite part is the pooh conversation.
But I really love all of it. I love the peace, serenity, love, joy I see in it. It has so much of what’s meaningful for me and I know I could have spent another 50 hours on it but I love it just as it is.
and here it is in my olw binder:
If you did this, too, I’d love to see yours!
I have never done a vision board. This turned out great!
Aloha, Kate
This is amazing, Karen. It is so vibrant.
Pooh…oh, how he speaks to everyone. I recently sketched a honey pot surrounded by the word “think”.
I went with my husband today to the thrift store. I bought a 1957 copy of The World of Pooh. I love Pooh and his innocence and purity. Thank you for such a great idea in making a vision board! Never thought to do one digitally. Can’t wait to give it a try!
yey, I would love to see it!!
Plan to work on mine Friday night. Can’t wait – haven’t done one before.
Karen, I love this and the Pooh was first thing I saw. How lovely and peacefully this is.
This prompt made me very happy and couldn’t wait to do it. Just tossed my magazines so now I have some new ones and will get started. Thinking a canvas like Ali did or add them to a corkboard in my scrap space.
My OLW word is Peace and a big part is for more peace in the house. Thinking of having all of us as a family making a FAMILY Vision board too and put it in the living room.
Thanks for sharing this, just beautiful!
Love what you did. My word this year is also present. The Pooh quote you found is perfect. Haven’t started this month’s homework yet – thinking of trying your approach now.
Here is mine that I finally finished…

This is so awesome, I love it! Great idea!
I love the idea of searching on Pinterest for pics to do a vision board. Thanks so much for the tip – I still need to do my vision board for OLW!!
