Up: [[Intentions]] Created: 2026-04-24 Updted: 2026-04-30 I thought I was done when I made [[Vision Board, April 2026]] while on a four day spring retreat with my friend, Joanne. But on the last morning I woke early, sat up in bed and wrote a note about what’s going to be different in my life when I go home and actually live my vision board. The answer was, not a whole lot. Just more of what I already value, which means I’d made a board that was safe and predictable. I jumped out of bed and in 20 minutes selected images without thought and made a second board that I do not totally understand. ![[Vision Board 2, 2026-04-24.webp|500]] When I put the two boards side by side, the first one is process — the life of an artist, open and curious in attitude. Receptive. Working with words from my heart. Reaching deep. It’s about the environment for that work and about consistency. It’s about sketchbooks and growth of my skills. And ease and lots of reading, and being playful. It’s about consistently choosing joy and, above all, about recognizing that this life isn’t one I need to wait for or to earn. It’s here now, available now. It’s being okay with good enough. It’s the growth that comes from warm connection and from attending to the cycle of seasons. The second board that I made this morning is goal to the first board’s process. It is mystery, it is depth. It is portal, rabbit hole, labyrinth and spiral. It is story — Alice, Red Riding Hood, and the White Rabbit. It is energy and swirling action. The first vision board was conscious. The second board was a response from my unconscious. The first board was reassuring and inspiring. It was Inner Harmony and Self-Expression. This one is exciting. It is Savour the Mystery. Both boards are needed.
