Considering creating a Vision Board for your dreams and goals for 2011?
Now is the time PRE NEW YEARS resolutions to start planning.
Here is the easiest and quickest way to start. Follow these 3 easy steps and in January I will give you the next easy steps to living the life of Your dreams in 2011.
Just by beginning this process you will get new ideas, inspiration and much needed momentum to help you achieve your goals and live the life of your dreams for 2011. These achievements don't come about by accident, even the most co-incidental event has some intention around it. Otherwise your reticular activating system (the part of your brain that acts like a spam filter) would not even notice the event.
STEP 1:
Think about what you really want. Start to notice or actively look for images that match your goals and dreams.
It is always useful and necessary to begin with the "end in mind" and write down what you want to achieve either by this time next year or as a general life goal.
STEP 2:
Find a poster board, a cork board, a spiral notebook or journal to use as a base for your pictures. Grab some scissors, glue and glitter pens or scrap booking items to decorate the pictures and words you choose to place on your Vision Board.
STEP 3:
Create the board with the images and words that you find most attractive and inspiring. Place the board somewhere you will enjoy looking at it and presto! the seeds are planted.
Just by beginning you will have set the wheels in motion for your dreams to take form inside you. make sure you love looking at your Vision Board and that when you glance at your board you instantly feel happy and optimistic.
There are a few more steps that I will share with you in the New Year to help you really get in tune with your board and to accelerate the manifestation and achievement of your dreams & goals.
This is plenty for you to do right now, its a busy time and I would rather you do a little at a time when you create your Dream Board, than put it all in the "too hard" basket. Most people never start because they just cant commit the time it takes to make a Vision Board, that is why I am bringing you this powerful process in do- able, easy "sound bites " of time.
To ensure YOUR Vision Board Success.
Happy Holidays and Celebrations!

Before You Make This Years Resolutions You Must Consider
How to “clear the deck” to catapult your
dreams and goals into 2011!
"This is the time of year people make resolutions they don't plan to keep!" Did you know 95% of all New Year's resolutions are either forgotten or broken by "Blue Monday", the third Monday in January?
If you want to achieve the New Years Resolutions and Goals that you are intending, there is a 5 step path to real success.
1. Choose which goals you will fully commit to.
2. Release any hurts, disappointments, resentments, fears and frustrations from this year. In order to move forward.
3. Decide which goals you will de-commit from or let go of. (You know those goals that you set, year after year and never achieve. it may be time to drop them altogether.
4. Complete, celebrate and acknowledge all last years and prior success to add momentum to the new year and activate your self confidence and courage.
5. Create your new "blueprint" by writing your goals down, having a collage a Vision Board, a Treasure Map or Dream Board… of your visions and a real action plan to achieve your dreams in 2011.
Do you set the same goals year after year with out really ever attaining them? If you do then you are giving your subconscious mind a very powerful message that you are not really wanting the goal you are setting. I am not talking about a long term goal that may take a few years to achieve, I am referring to the "frivolous" goals that are set with good intentions and then forgotten about or broken, each year.
Do you know which goals they are for you? Is it a weight or fitness goal? A relationship goal? An educational one? A financial one? Which one of these do you just keep meaning to follow through on, but never manage to find the time or have the willpower to "Just Do It".
Your Subconscious mind knows that you are not serious about having what you say you want and therefore, it will continue to sabotage the result, not because its your worst enemy, but because it's what it has been programmed for, year after year
Now, it's time to commit or to de-commit and its OK either way.
When you fully commit to a goal; then you can be confident about being guided to take the right actions steps to achieve your goals.
When you de- commit from a goal then you can be assured that you will release old heavy "baggage" and guilt that has held you back and it will give you a sense of freedom and new energy to allow the new goals to be achieved more easily and effortlessly.
You will be amazed at how much energy is "free-ed" up, once you actually let go of the old goals that you have been "should-ing" on your self about. In fact in some cases the mere fact of letting go and releasing the obligation and worry about the goal, gives it the space to manifest anyway.
Psychologists say that we can only consciously pay attention to 7 plus or minus 2 things at any one time, if there is more "on our plates" our attention units can become overwhelmed.
This is explained in Jack Canfield's recent work, "Success Principles", where he mentions this, discovered by a German psychologist, "who noticed that a waitress, who had not yet had the bill paid, could remember everything that was ordered for the meal even if there were eight people at the table, but as soon as the bill was paid,she could not remember half of it, which is good, as her mind was able to become "present" to focus on the next thing."
To free up your mind's attention units for the year:
2. Acknowledge yourself for anything you have achieved, celebrate it and declare it complete!As you have heard now, so many times:
"Like attracts like", "Success breeds success".
More success will come your way, when you "feel" successful, but you cannot feel successful if you do not look for and acknowledge your successes. The success can be major or minor. it doesn't matter. What matters is that you acknowledge yourself for whatever you did do. Write down now, your success's from last year.
3. And finally create a new (or update your old) goal "Blueprint" or Vision board to give your mind and brain the clearest vision of what you really want.

Money and Vision Boards!
Should you put money on your vision board?
Easy answer but not really simple - if you love money… Yes!
If You love what money can buy then you may consider putting pictures
of the “end result” of what the money can bring you.
Peace of Mind,
Luxury travel, Clothes, Jewelry,
Cars, houses, great restaurants
Personal makeovers… etc.
( Add your dreams of what Money will bring you)
Then calibrate yourself - Ask HOW DOES THIS FEEL?
If there is a twinge and feeling less than pure excitement and joy…
Change the picture.
Your Vision Board is a picture of your Future,
it talks directly to your subconscious mind.
Take notice of your deepest feelings and the small voice in your head.
Fine tuning techniques like these will help you get what you want faster
easier and in wonderful ways.

to increase YOUR financial “set point”
Have a Great November and enjoy your Visions!

Man drives over his morning coffee!
Discover Your “Energetic Signature”
************************
Man drives over his morning coffee!
It was a lovely spring morning in Melbourne. The sun was shining, the air was crisp and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves on the trees. The corner deli/cafe was busy, as usual, with customers parking their cars and quickly running into the shop to buy their morning Latte and assorted snacks.
Have you ever noticed how some people when trying to juggle too many parcels will put their drink, coffee, briefcase or purse on the roof of their car, while they open the door and then put everything else in their hands inside the car? How many times do you see someone drive away - with the item still on the roof?
This day my sister and I were engaged in a lovely morning conversation when all of a sudden “BAM” it sounded like an explosion!
We looked to see where the sound came from… all we saw was a black sedan pulling away from the curb and we noticed left behind in the street was a crushed coffee cup still with the lid on the cup and the beverage (coffee) splattered all over the road. We were shocked, embarrassed and then burst into laughter. OMG! That poor guy!
Did he even realize that he’d just driven over his own coffee?
We wondered when he would notice if at all, that he didn’t get the
Morning “heart starter” drink he specially stopped for, spent time and money to collect!
What must have been on his mind to not even remember that he had placed the coffee on the ground, instead of on the roof or better yet INSIDE his car!
How many people are NOT PRESENT, in their lives?
Running on Auto pilot - racing through the day - physically present but mentally far away, all the time!
Who knows why that man drove over his own coffee that morning…
hopefully he was able to get another coffee and actually enjoyed drinking it.
How can YOU benefit from this story?
Where are you not present - using the forgotten coffee as a metaphor-
is there anything you want that you just keep leaving behind because your life and/ or mind “gets too busy?”
Where can you be MORE present, more in the moment, less pre-occupied with your thoughts and more in the experience of life!
When you are present, you have more energy available to you.
When you are not present you are leaking energy. When your energy resonates at higher frequencies and you raise your level of conscious awareness you are less preoccupied with worrying about the future or regretting the past.
The only power you have to make any choice or change is in the present moment. The more present you are the more power you have and you tap into the higher levels of consciousness - the mind chatter drops away and the feeling of peace, serenity and harmony starts to wash over you.
Your personal power expands from your core and it radiates outward. Your Aura expands, your charisma increases and you become in control of your actions and reactions. You may even become “luckier.”
Try it and let me know how it feels when you are present and what types of synchronicity you experience.
… Please remember when you purchase your morning “java”, take a moment to savor the complete experience, inhaling the delectable aroma, tasting the full flavor and enjoy your drink … then drive away!
“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery - today is a gift
-that is why they call it the “Present.”
"What you are aware of you are in control of; what
you are not aware of is in control of you."
— Anthony de Mello:

Its October… blink and we will be again setting NEW YEARS resolutions. Now is the time to take a good look at YOUR Vision Board and get to “KNOW THYSELF.”
How does it feel right now? When you look at your board today, do you still feel empowered, excited, like you could just step straight into that reality you are observing?
If your answer is yes, great! Keep enjoying your board,
your visualizations and your affirmations. Take inspired actions steps towards your visions and allow the law of attraction to bring you your dreams in the right and perfect time.
IF…on the other side when you look at your Vision Board, you get ANY feeling of unease, discomfort, a twinge of regret, anxiousness or any unpleasant thought, a weight on your shoulders, or a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach…
Remove the picture that is giving you that reaction.
If you still want the picture to manifest for you, put it away in a cupboard, a drawer, a closet, a special “creation box” or in a journal - out of sight - and allow your subconscious mind to bring it to you in the right and perfect time.
You can ceremoniously put the picture away, by saying “thank you Universe for manifesting this for me in the perfect time.”
This way you are letting go and allowing your subconscious mind to fulfill the program it has been given from the picture being
on your Vision board. If you no longer want the picture you could discard it by putting it in the trash. Please do not throw it away if you still want it but feel discouraged.
This process is powerful, having a vision board in full view programs your conscious and subconscious minds, but if the pictures no longer resonate well for you, it is far better getting them “out of sight” because if they trigger unpleasant feelings you will be counteracting the energy of manifestation.
Enjoy your October and be conscious of the pictures and the objects (and people) that surround you and get in touch with your own instant reactions to these things, if they bring you down, remove them or get some coaching to support you and lighten your load.
Everything is energy and the vibrational level you resonate is the reverberance you send out and it will translate into the situations and circumstances you experience in your life.
What if… what YOU wanted, was coming to you today and all you have to do is
Let go, Open up, Be ready to receive it and Allow it in.
The outer world reflects your inner world, take care of your
inner world this month and always.
Love Barbara

Hi Barbara,
I just want to thank you for the vision board class you did for us. Only one week later, I signed the lease on an oceanfront rental, where I can walk out my back yard and snorkel with beautiful tropical fish.
I had visioned an oceanfront rental all my life. I didn't find the photo of the home but I
did place glass sea balls, a tropical fish with the word miracle on it and the word beachy in the wealth area of my board.
I am so in awe. I am receiving the blessings and thank God for the miracles that continue to amaze me. Thanks for your gift to us.
Lovingly......... Patty View from my new backyard attached.......
The tipping point in Vision Boards and Law of Attraction comes when you step into that new reality that you have envisioned. It’s well known as a “quantum leap.” It is common for some people to experience the quantum leap - tipping point within a few days of creating their Vision Board. It happens almost instantly. That is the type of story you hear on Oprah, when people say…” I put these pictures on this board and “it was like magic” it all fell into place for me.”
This instant Reality Shift after Making a Vision Board is very normal and I will explain to you why it happens for some people and not for others. Vision Boards have the potential to manifest for you in 3 ways:
It can also take up to 10 years for some goals, depending on how much change,growth or skill development is required, in order to attract the “end result” that you requested by creating your Vision Board. Realistically and practically, if your goal is to be a doctor or other licensed professional, there is a protocol that must be followed, including many years of study and training. If attracting the perfect relationship is taking longer than desired, there may be some life experience that is required prior to your partner showing up for you. Follow your passion, eg: learn a language, start a hobby, study something, join a group, travel… even if it doesn’t make logical sense. You will find the person will eventually appear. The reality you seek may turn up “when you least expect it” and the very activity you did by following your heart, could be the key to the tipping point.
Like all Law of attraction principles - there is a duality attached. How do you stay intentional, be diligent in your practice and then “let go and let God, The Universe… deliver?”
There is a quote “ Stay focused on the end result but flexible in your approach.”
Joe Vitale explains it well - The Goals on the Vision Board are things I want but don’t NEED. Actively working towards your goal will certainly help you achieve it quickly, as long as you remain mindful that it “may be around the next corner.” That means you can’t see it ahead of you, that is why they say “act in faith” or as Goethe said “ move forward confidently in the direction of your dreams…”
Letting go of the neediness around your goals, which sounds easy but not always easy to do… and using a childlike sense of wonderment and expectation, when working with your Vision Board…
will allow that magical tipping point to happen faster than you may realize.
Enjoy your Vision Board, the work you do either actively or passively and the results it brings in the right time.

Welcome to your… Vision Board Hot Tip May 2010
I have just returned from attending the www.DSWA.org Magnificent Celebration in LA, where I was privileged and
honored to conduct a Vision Board Class for the attendees. It was FABULOUS!
I love seeing the boards “come together” as you put your visions and dreams onto the paper. I get so excited as people share their hopes and dreams.(youtube link)
The creation of a Vision Board or Treasure Map enables you to see your desired end result. It brings your dreams out of the realm of the imagination and into reality with “molecules” which now give your goals a “frequency” and “vibration.”
More scientific studies are showing that what we pay attention to and focus on, creates new neural networks in the brain. The more you look at your board, focus, contemplate and enjoy the visions of your future reality, the more neural connections are made…
until you get a neural ‘superhighway’ which will help youto get new thoughts, ideas and action steps to fast track your results.
A great way to lay down new neural pathways is to set time aside
to contemplate and journal about what is on your Vision Board.
One effective contemplation technique that you can practice is to think about
and write down the answers to these questions.
Why do you want this goal?
How would you feel if you had it right now?
Who would you tell your good news to? - why?
How does it feel to share your success with these people?
For best results regularly (daily if possible) spend 5 minutes doing this type of focusing.
The more you focus on your end result, the quicker you will tip it into reality.
Cant wait to hear your stories
Happy Mothers Day to all Mothers!
Love,
Barbara

Love Life Advice:
LOOK BACK AND SEE THE FUTURE
“Looking ahead does not always lead to success. Sometimes it pays
to look in the other direction as well.
That, in fact, is one of the first survival lessons the early settlers learned
from the American Indian. An Indian, when he traveled, knew his position
on Earth from two directions, not just one. The Indian regularly stopped,
turned around - and looked back where he had been.
He saw again the landmarks he had just passed. But now he saw them the
way they’d appear on his way home. By looking backward, he saw
his future path.” - Except by Gaylord Briley
Looking back to see how far you have traveled is an essential step in achieving Success. It helps you by; keeping your energy high, staying motivated and working with the Law of Attraction.
When we “set sail for distant shores” - Set a goal and take action towards achieving that goal, we focus on and move toward the end result, always keeping our focus on what we want. This focus combined with constant and repetitive attention creates the neural pathways in the brain that help us notice the opportunities present in the environment and it also gives us inspired thoughts and intuitive hunches.
And so we journey and grow into the goal. Some goals take longer than others to manifest into reality and to help you keep “on track” and enthusiastic it helps to look back every so often.
Occasionally looking back to acknowledge what you have achieved, where you have come from and how far you have travelled really supports your self esteem and energy levels.
Success Breeds Success… Like Attracts Like!
On a “long haul” - long term goal, if we only focus on where we are going we are likely to feel burn out, tired and then the negative chatter begins in the mind. Doubts, fears and worries could set in, simply because the goal may still be a distant dream.
This is where “taking stock” acknowledging success and looking back to see how far you have come is not only a useful tool but essential to your Success.
A practical way to do this is to write a list of your achievements - Your Success List.
Every day or as often as possible list what you have done, how you have developed and how much you have experienced since you began your journey towards your goals. This will not only raise your self esteem, give you reason to feel proud but it also sends out a strong signal a resonance into the Universe that
You Achieve Your Intentions
and this will not only bring you faster results, but it will give you new, fresh ideas, more efficient action steps and you will feel energized and inspired to keep moving forward.
List 3 of Your Successes in each of these Areas:
Acknowledge and Celebrate all Wins and see how quickly you will achieve even more …
Remember What you focus on expands!
Enjoy
