The Rise Up

Autumn Equinox 2012 Vision Board

I created this vision board during the 2012 autumn equinox.  Although I had been collecting images and magazines for this purpose, it had been a few years since I last created one.  I am grateful for the goddess retreat that was the impetus this time around.  Once I sat down to the activity, my heart poured open.  Glitter, paper, glue covered my kitchen table.

Some elements of this board:

1. Surfboards – Surfboards represent my deep desire to learn to surf.  (Everyone knows my affinity with the ocean, and other bodies of water.)
2. Horse – I would love to have access to a horse that I can ride regularly.  Relationships with animals calm and ground me.
3. Drum – I intend to continue developing my percussions skills.  (Thanks to Corey & LaQuita Staten with Atumpan: The Talking Drums, I am off to a great start.)
4. Passport – International travel is in my near future.
5. Luggage – I always want to have the ability to up and go somewhere on a whim.  I love being spontaneous and open to going whereever the wind takes me.
6. Journal – My reminder to journal regularly.  I usually jot down thoughts and observations on scraps.  However, I realize the value of keeping my stream of consciousness in a centralized place so that I can quickly and simply string elements together.
7. Octavia Butler – She is one of my creative writing muses.  I intend to have a book published in the next 5 years.
8. Bob Marley – He is my lyrical muse and for me symbolic of the complexity of personal and social struggles.
9. Shirley Chisholm – She is my role model for self-determination (aka my solar plexus muse).
10. Hungarian Vizsla – I see a dog in my long term future as a companion.
11. Works by Tamara Natalie Madden – She is my visual arts muse. TNM is bold and whimsical.
12. Chakras – I intend to consciously support my inner balance and harmony.
13. Feathers – I am taking my wings and flying in 2013 and beyond.
