About the workshop
This workshop will provide a peaceful space to create your vision board for 2011. We will explore the role of vision boards in goal setting and discuss how journaling can support you in the process! I will guide you through a series of steps that I have learned over years of creating vision boards of my own. You will be given time select images and create a vision board of your own.
I will also give you the opportunity to practice a valuable journaling process to help you capture any inspired ideas that might lead you to your goal. I call this process "Idea catching" and I will share with you the process of capturing your inspired actions in an "Idea Cather" or Idea journal. This journal is unique in that it holds every wild idea, clue, phone number, map, quote that will lead you to your goal. These journals have been extremely powerful in capturing inspired actions that result from focusing on my vision boards and has lead me to solutions and surprising results.
With your Vision Board and Idea Catcher, you will have everything you need to creative fabulous year!

The Create Your Best Life project is as community project started in 2004. I wanted to find out what would happen if people slowed down to really think about what they wanted in life. So I created a tool that was based on some of the most powerful questions I ask myself when I'm considering my next project. I created this tool for my use and then I made it available to the public. Since then 1000+ participants have completed this questionaire from around the world.
Andrea Chebeleu of A Work of Heart and I invite you to declare your 2011 Creative Resolutions! I've already declared mine...I'm going to plan some artist dates to be creative or creatively inspired. Now its your turn, what will you do this year to expand your creativity and express your authentic self this year?
