		<description>I have a history of doing vision boards, since I was a kid really not even knowing exactly what I was doing I just like making collages of a combination of the things I was greatful for, with inspiring words of aspiration combined with objects of my desire.  Today I do them with a more focused intent and find them most effective when I do them with passion and then forget about them.  I think its the non attachment that is the key factor, and if I put it away knowing its already done it comes much quicker than I would ever guess.</description>

		<description>I have my vision boards posted on my wall here in the computer room so I can see them each time I am in here.  The vision boards I made a year ago have not come into physical manifestation, what has been happening for me is the releasing of all the crap that is in the way of those things physically manifesting.  I know that I have done much spiritual work this year through therapy, PPP, life coaching, EFT, chakra clearings and more to release all the negative beliefs and patterns that stop those desires from becoming reality.  Before I might have been upset that they haven&#039;t manifested but I am at peace knowing that I had much inner work to do first.  I know I am on my way.</description>

		<description>Thank you Melany for voicing Sahila again --  
I so resonated with Sahila and also you -- the limiting of myself -- giving away the abundance that has been given to me.  And I see that it is because of not believing that I am worthy and limiting myself -- 

I too am worthy of being a destination for abundance and ease.. both in abundance !!  I shall joyfully receive and accept all the abundance coming to me !!

Thank you all in this game and the Universe :)</description>

		<description>Yea Sahila....

Breaking through is a beautiful thing! Thanks for sharing 
with us - openly...so we may more clearly recognize our 
transitions with more understanding and joy!  AND ALIGNING 
OURSELVES -ENERGY AND ACTION - WHAT A WONDERFUL DELITE... 
Thanks for being part of this growth cycle! 


WHEN YOU WRITE ABOUT USING YOUR VISION BOARD TO CREATE: 
&quot;representations of states of being about the quality of YOUR 
life, rather than the quantity of things IN YOUR life…&quot;. YOU SAID: 

&quot;I can see that there is a balance needed there…The Source is expansive and abundant – it doesnt limit itself to basics – so why would I limit myself to poverty or JUST basics?&quot; 

While I cannot address that answer for you, I can share my experiences for your observation and amusement.

I&#039;ve been observing an illusion of limited abundance for decades through all of its&#039; facets.  I&#039;ve always focused on giving to others, making it somehow &quot;against my personal religion&quot; to be given to...I believed I never needed to be the recepient, that others had greater needs. 

I have not accepted graciously any of the abundance I have been the conduit to pass on to others.  I became my own limiter.  And I justified it by envisioning myself blessed to be the messenger carrying abundance to others.  Silly me...that ends now.  

I am worthy of being a destination for abundance, not simply a conduit.  I graciously receive and gratefully accept all the abundance coming to me for my highest and best good...

And so it is!  Thanks for sharing your growth ya&#039;ll !!</description>

		<description>I made a vision board several years ago and posted it inside my armoire, where I&#039;d see it every day when I got dressed. t first I would look at it and smile and make adjustments, if needed. However, gradually it became like wallpaper. I rarely noticed it. Reading what John wrote I realized that what I got was the exact opposite of what John got. My life got smaller and less abundant, certainly in the money area.
Yesterday I began recreating my vision board. What occured to me today is that clearly John had internalized his vision and it remained in his minds eye, even though it was out of sight for several years, while mine gradually became a &quot;reminder&quot; of what I didn&#039;t have and eventually ignored or avoided.
Today, as I add to my vision board, I will say the &quot;Thank you&quot; prayer and think of and see this vision as complete and already here. I will imbue it with love rather than anxiety, gratitude rather than disappointment. It will be a portal to my desires — my abundant life.</description>

		<description>Hello Lerie,

greetings from Durban, good to see a fellow SA playign the game !

Vision Boards work for me, some things come quickly: I once put a cutting of a car on it and within 6 month I had that car - brand new! Or I placed a pic of a guy with a horse on it and within a couple of weeks I met a man who owned a couple of horses....

Other things have not manifested yet and I have found that (in my case) I must not be too quick with changing the pictures. I normally do a new one at the beginning of each year and that does not seem to work for me....I need to stick with the images even if not manifested yet...

Anybody out there had a similar experience?

Blessings
Sabine</description>

		<description>I just read a blog that Sahila wrote last year.  She wrote so beautifully and expressed &quot;me&quot; in her writing.  I wish she was here this year.  I have read some of her other blogs that have also expressed some of my issues - they&#039;ve really gotten me thinking.
Before comments on visualization boards I want to share a realization I had yesterday about some very limited thinking and living, and get some feedback from anyone (help).
After having the &quot;rug pulled out from under me&quot; a year and a half ago; losing my apartment, my car and business, as a senior citizen, with Social Security as my only income, I moved into senior subsidized housing, I applied for food stamps and of course I am on Medicare and Medicaid (I&#039;m SO healthy - Medicare has a great deal with me).  I realize that what I&#039;ve done is to put myseslf in a position where I feel &quot;safe&quot;; taken care of; almost like hiding out; not wanting to expose myself to the harshness of making money or compeating with others to &quot;get ahead&quot; - all of the above and more......and yesterday it just hit me like a ton of bricks!  I realized what I&#039;d done to myself -  painted myself into a poverty consciousness corner and therefore I expect poverty!&quot; (poverty and &quot;lack&quot; have been a family.....tradition). This is why I&#039;m not experiencing prosperity. I have thought myself safe and comfortable but this is what I&#039;ve done and it isn&#039;t what I want.  I have always been an outgoing person.  I&#039;ve worked since I was 14 and much of my working life I&#039;ve done very creative things that I&#039;ve loved - I&#039;ve always been &quot;out there&quot;.  Though I&#039;m 70 I feel my attitude is more like 55. But now I&#039;m hiding out. 
I think I need to go back to day one of the Prosperity Experiment and keep going back until I truly &quot;get this&quot;.  I know I&#039;m still scared of putting myself out there and having the rug pulled out again (so to speak).  I may be a &quot;senior&quot; but I do also believe (on some level) that we can always change our thinking and therefore change our lives and I want to do that!  It now seems to me that in the past I  have &quot;intellectualized&quot; the process of creating prosperity - but not lived it...........yet.  I am happy to have realized what I&#039;ve done here and am so grateful to be participating in the experiment.  Now that I realize this position I&#039;ve put myself in - well, maybe it&#039;s opened a door.  
As to visualization boards; I love them - I have many and they are all different - lol.  Guess I need to focus there too -What do I want?.  Back to day one; isn&#039;t that where we were to make a list of what we wanted and why?
Thank you for reading this.  I love to read all the blogs.
Love to you all</description>

		<description>Well, this explains why my vision board from the Jan. before last was falling off of the wall today (and it&#039;s been there for a long time!). Guess I&#039;d better run and take a look at what I&#039;ve manifested!!...
I currently have 2 image journals that I fill with photos of beautiful, inspiring women and beautiful things (new kitchen, homes, clothes, etc.) I would love to own. It is a great joy to create them, and a joy to look through them every week or so. 
I have had 3 very specific manifestations - but these were not from vision boards - just things floating around in my mind: 
On my son&#039;s birthday, I went on a walk and had the impulse to make him a toy canoe out of birch bark. Later that day, a birch bark (painted) canoe was out for sale on the way home from our trip to lunch - I bought it - it was a gift from the universe (and the seller offered to sell it for $50 less than he was asking!) :)
When we moved into our house, I pictured a long, wooden bookshelf that I wanted to have in the kids&#039; room. On an impulse, I drove to the end of the road to check out a garage/moving sale. There, waiting for me was the exact bookshelf I had imagined. WOW!
I had been thinking about purchasing a flowing skirt that was very flattering, maybe a wrap around - but didn&#039;t fill in the details mentally (color, etc.), so I was pleasantly surprised when my eye fell on a lovely sand colored cotton skirt with ties on one side that wrap around and hang down in a gorgeous Grecian style. Never seen one like it before, but it&#039;s the most beautiful thing I own ;)  
This is sooooo much FUN!</description>
