SAY YES TO LIFE WITH A VISION BOARD by Joyce Schwarz, author The Vision Board book

SAY YES TO LIFE WITH A VISION BOARD by Joyce Schwarz, author THE VISION BOARD book

In these days of economic downturn, you may hear lots of comments of doom and gloom. What we all need at this time is to say YES, to the great things and people in our lives!.

By creating a SAY YES TO LIFE Vision Board you can do 'just' that!

MAKE A YES TO LIFE VISION BOARD!

Some days it seems that everyone around you is in a negative mood. All you hear is "NO", "NO" or "NO WAY"!

So what can you do --well, JUST SAY YES!

*SCROLL DOWN TO SEE 5 NO COST TIPS TO SAY YES TO LIFE TODAY!

Here are 5 NO COST WAYS TO SAY AND "SHOW" YES to the world even before you make your vision board:

1) Go to the park and take a ride on a swing -- go ahead act the age of your shoe size? Ever heard that before --my shoe size is 8 -- so I get to be an 8 year old anytime I want!

2)Eat dessert first! I just found out that October 28 --the launch date of The Vision Board: The Secret to an Extraordinary Life is NATIONAL CHOCOLATE DAY! Ymmm so I'm taking this opportunity to remind you to eat your dessert first that day -- it's only 19 days away! A little bit of dark chocolate is full of anioxidents so go ahead splurge every day with a bite or two of the most decadent chocolate you can find!

3) Put on your happy cap if you're having a bad hair day. I always keep a few of my favorite baseball caps with fun logos hanging as decorations in one of my closets! When I'm feeling a bit down -- I ALWAYS wear my sequineed black and silver baseball cap and I take it on trips around the world-- even on a ride on an Arabian horse in Petra, Jordan!

NO MORE BAD HAIR DAYS! Okay -- we'll have to get some SHARE THE VISION baseball caps to tie in with our website www.ihaveavision.org! More on that later.

4) Share a compliment-- say something nice today to someone you DON'T KNOW -- if life is a little cloudy-- I always make sure that I give a compliment or two to someone I see in a store or even in a parking lot.

It's easy --and yes, you can be sincere -- after all -- most people love to be told that their car is a beautiful color or that their T shirt is so much fun or that you love that gorgeous Olive green handbag that the senior you see at the post office is carrying.

You'll be amazed how much it perks you up!

5) CALL A PAL you haven't talked to in a few months or even a few years. Ask them the questions about their life and family -- be a good listener, don't spoil the moment by dragging them down with your own doldrums! Remind them of a couple of fun things you did together.

That's a great way to open the call --start by saying "remember the time we did....."

Now make a list of all of the great things you appreciate in your life and all of the great people and take some pictures of them or go through a magazine and begin to place them on a vision board.

What's a vision board? Most of you know a vision board is a visual map or depiction of how you'd like to live your best life possible and a way to pay tribute to the wonderful things you have and are creating in your life.

Take a poster board or a blank journal and paste some of these YES images in your journal or on your board. And add affirmations that remind you that you are grateful for what IS yes in you life and what will add more YES to your life in the future. Speak in the present tense (not the future) I am grateful for the wonderful home I have on a hill in the forest! YES I have that home now! See it experience it.

ADD MORE YES TO YOUR LIFE TODAY!

How to create a Mother's Day Vision Board: Special hints for Nursing Homes or Assisted Living from Joyce Schwarz, author THE VISION BOARD BOOK

 Mother's Day: How to create a Mother's Day Vision Board!

by Joyce Schwarz at 2:04 PM PDT, May 10, 2009

  The Vision Board: The Secret to an Extraordinary Life 

Would you like to honor your mom or grandma or even your greatgrandmother today or this week or anytime of the year!

Then follow these 5 steps from best-selling author Joyce Schwarz,  The Vision Board: The Secret to an Extraordinary Life    from Harper Collins Publishing, Collins Design.

 

 

FIVE STEPS TO CREATING A MOTHER'S DAY VISION BOARD!

 

1) Gather together some pictures of you and your mom together throughout the years either real photographs from old albums that are falling apart or scan some photos that you may have framed already.

 

  You can use the inside top lid of a gift box as a 'shadow box' to make your Mother's Day Vision Board says Joyce Schwarz, author THE VISION BOARD the secret to an extraordinary life, www.visionboard.info for free newsletter.

 

2) Make sure you have the following on hand -- a) a posterboard -- if you don't have one you can use a bulletin board or a corkboard or the inside lid of a box that may have held the robe you game mom for Mother's day! The inside lid of a nice box -- becomes almost like a Shadow Box for the Vision Board creation. You can also use an old shadow box you may have on hand.

 

 

3) You can do this with mom or grandma and your kids too. Sit down with some colored markers or crayons and do it together. Brainstorm some of the fun times you've had together with mom --here are some ideas a) going out to dinner on mother's day -- if you're going out today be sure to take a picture of mom with your family or you! Mom out gardening, mom doing some of her favorite things -- playng the piano, holding you as a baby or even finishing running her first marathon.

 

4) Paste the pictures on some colorful paper you line the inside of the box with -- maybe the colored tissue paper (pink or green or yellow that you wrapped that robe with. You can use tape or glue to hold the paper in place. If you want double up the adhesive tape so that it sticks without seeing the bits of tape. OR if you don't have tape make some glue. OR if you don't have either mix a tiny bit of flour and water together and it will form some glue for you just be careful to use just a dot of it so that it doesn't show through. BUT If it does -- don't worry you can cover that with a sticker or a little design from your kids or you. Or another picture.

 

 

You can use any box -- see the wine box at the left it would make a nice Mother's Day Shadow box once the wine is consumed at dinner or put on a shelf or wine cellar. See the HGTV box -- that is symbolic -- you can cut out pictures and put in flowers from the day or ribbons or whatever. And whatif you don't have any pix of mom -- well, consider doing a real nature-themed Mother's Day Vision Board with pictures of wild animals and their children like these Polar Bears and elephants. So much fun!

 

5) Pick a theme for your Mother's Day Vision Board: here are some possibilities: a) gratitude-- what are you thanking your mom for a) her guidance b) her support c) her understanding or d) just being there when no one else was.

 

a) But what if you and your mom don't get along perfectly -- don't worry most moms and daughters or sons aren't like the LEAVE IT TO BEAVER TV families of the 20th century.

 

b) If you feel more comfortable just honor your mom's heritage and her life -- include pictures of her mother and grandmother. a copy of a map of the country where her family is from such as Mexico or France or Hungary. And include pictures of your mom throughout the years -- a picture (or copy of one when she was a kid) or a copy of a wedding picutre or a copy of a picture of her holding her first grandchild etc.

 

PERFECT FOR NURSING HOME OR ASSISTED LIVING:

This kind of remembrance Vision Board is ideal for moms who are in the hospital or a rest home or in assisted living where her roommates and visitors and nurses and attendants can see mom in her prime.

We have the scoop here at www.visionboard.info by Joyce Schwarz, author THE VISION BOARD.

 

LISTEN TO THE CALL By clicking Oprah & ed call

 

Okay readers, I spent some real time online and I have all the secret info on Oprah's Obama Vision Board -- you know the one that is making news in LA TIMES and on TMZ.com and the one she talked about on the radio in NYC!

 

First of all Oprah called a NYC station called Power105.1 and Ed Lover is the DJ on the morning show there called of course the Ed Lover show. Oprah was not calling a Chicago radio station -- she was calling Ed!

 

Listen to the call by clicking Oprah & Ed

 

 This IS the radio station *see pix of Ed & Oprah below)  that Oprah called into from Chicago the morning of the election. She said she was calling as an ordinary citizen and was still in the makeup room without her eyelashes on yet. She called Ed Lover, Host the morning show 6-10 a.m. on Power105.1

 

 

DURING THE CALL Ed had the sense to ask her about her dress for Obama's inauguration -- thinking positively that she'd be going after Tuesday night (remember it was only about 9 a.m or so in NYC.

 

In answering Ed's question about her dress-- she started to make some national news because that's when Oprah revealed she made a VISION BOARD about Obama and the election prompted by a comment Michelle Obama made after a rally that Oprah and Maria Shriver and Michelle were at in California back in Feb 08.

 

If you didn't already, listen to the call with Oprah & Ed: Oprah& ed call

 

In this LA TIMES section TOP OF THE TICKET Oprah is shown with Obama and the story talks about Oprah's call to Ed Lover at Power105.1 in NYC on election morning when she revealed she'd made herself a VISION BOARD and actually included a picture of her dress for Obama's Inaugural ball!.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Vision Board author Joyce Schwarz is going to ask the publicist at Harper Collins Publishing -- to send over a couple of books to Ed Lover and his co-host VJ Free to make sure they have the scoop on hot to make their own vision boards!

Did you know that THE CHICAGO SUN TIMES reported last month that author Joyce Schwarz had already been on the Oprah show-- not true-- but sure an example of law of attraction -- just waiting for the call! Meanwhile how about a phoner with Ed and Free???? That would be awesome!

Check out Joyce's new blog on Power105.1 in NYC ! She even put up a beach scene! And she has pals already!

Yes, We Can! Obama Vision Board: Law of Attraction in Action!

 Obama Vision Board designed for THE VISION BOARD by Joyce Schwarz, Harper Collins Publishing, Collins Design by Nick Thorsch, creator and founder of The Ultimate Vision Board facebook app. 

By Joyce Schwarz, As the author of the new book "THE VISION BOARD: the secret to an extraordinary life" it's my honor to feature here Obama's Vision board created by one of the contributors to my book, Nick Thorsch who worked on Obama's campaign.

 

  The Vision Board: The Secret to an Extraordinary Life 

Back to the future in New Hampshire:

Thorsch created the Obama Vision Board on my request. I knew that Nick was working with President-elect Barack Obama's team on the New Hampshire election. Looking back on those days, Nick explains," I was glad to be doing as much as I could (in New Hampshire)  to help this great man become our next President."

He adds, " Despite being in freezing conditions, no pay, and living on an air mattress in someone else's house. the people were all good natured, smart and devoted to Obama's cause, it was a good culture."

OBAMA'S VISION: How did Thorsch pick the photos and phrases to put on Obama's board?  He reveals, " I just searched the Internet for images symbolic of him and his campaign - him --inpsiring crowds of people, connecting with individuals, receiving the endorsement of influential celebrities like Oprah, being a best selling author and of having a stable loving family.

Thorsch featured a typical American flag background, on top of the digital image of a cork board using The Ultimate Vision Board Facebook app.

What's The Ultimate Vision Board Facebook App?

Thorsch explains in the about section for the application posted on Facebook.com that, "The Ultimate Vision Board is a digital corkboard to place pictures of what you want in your life." Thousands of Facebook users agree with Thorsch that "It's the most fun and easy way to design a life that inspires you."

To see and try the Facebook App THE ULTIMATE VISION BOARD go to: link to vision board app 

Thorsch agrees with the premise of The Vision Board book that by focusing your mind, emotions and activities towards your vision of your life, you'll be surprised at what you can achieve.

EMBRACE CHANGE!

 fact, as I look at the quote that's on the new promo postcard for   The Vision Board: The Secret to an Extraordinary Life , I realize how appropriate it is for this night of Obama's election.

It's my joy to share this line from my book with you:

The Vision Board will help you craft your own personal vision statement and create a vision board.

 NOW is the time for you to believe that anything is possible in your life; embrace change, be brave and take the leap.

 What comes next will amaze you! "
