I agree with Pen about the vision board thing. I tend to begin "to-do" lists which end up looking more like wish lists. But, I find that it helps me, to put those dreams/wishes in writing, because it makes them more real somehow , more attainable. I can work towards them much more easily. Trust yourself!<BR/><BR/>We all need a Cheryl in our lives , someone to shed a little light on us -that's part of why we are all here. Listen to your inner voice - it leads you to your dreams.NRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826879506187804567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810525025864331562.post-50739511292278121182008-12-30T14:18:00.000-05:002008-12-30T14:18:00.000-05:00how i love, love, loved this post! it was raw and...how i love, love, loved this post! it was raw and honest. it <I>is</I> beautiful!<BR/><BR/>the overwhelming thought washing over me as i read your words was how your lists are like a vision board. they are a way of keeping you focussed, reminding you of the things that are important: from the shopping and to do list, to the deeper and bigger mondo beyondo dream list. may you carry on making big and beautiful lists in 2009 and manifesting your dreams xo <BR/>ps. how wonderful to have warm and inspiring friends like cheryl. remember, like attracts like: so your friendship says a lot about you too!Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11252354675982631564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810525025864331562.post-62932446759402019122008-12-29T20:35:00.000-05:002008-12-29T20:35:00.000-05:00Thank you for the lovely comments.

It was funny, my inner critic voice was talking to me as I typed this blog last night. <BR/><BR/>It was telling me that nobody would be interested in reading this. And if they did, they would agree with me that I am crazy. I think too much. That I'm a negative person. <BR/><BR/>My goal for this week is to be conscious of that voice inside of me. <BR/><BR/>I heard of article recently where a lady overcame depression by listening to that voice and then gave it's own name. She made friends with the identity rather than denying it's intrusion into her life.<BR/><BR/>I like that idea.<BR/><BR/>Once again, thank you for your kind words of encouragement.Disenchanted Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13727812491961753006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810525025864331562.post-19296427826648417072008-12-29T17:44:00.000-05:002008-12-29T17:44:00.000-05:00I love this post!You are already the person tellin...I love this post!<BR/>You are already the person telling you what do, and you trust your own advice or else you wouldn't write yourself a list!<BR/><BR/>there are some warning signs if lists are becoming important in ways that are not practical...if you re-write lists to make them tidier, or write onto your lists things you've already done so that you can see them checked off, or if you keep re-writing the same things on your lists rather than the items getting cleared. If you see these kind of patterns then the lists are giving you something other than an organisational tool.<BR/><BR/>I often put lists into my morning pages just so I can relax and stop thinking about everything that needs doing...and until now I didn't have to look back at them!!!<BR/><BR/>Best wishes for 2009SisterJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02873624518389704137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810525025864331562.post-70878759688096087112008-12-28T23:31:00.000-05:002008-12-28T23:31:00.000-05:00I like what Cheryl said, and I think you should li...I like what Cheryl said, and I think you should listen to her. I personally LOVE lists! My family's always joking that I have lists of my lists (close, but not quite *grin*). I have all kinds of lists. I think a big part of it is that I'm very much a visual person. Lists of dreams and to-do lists all give me things I can cross off and actually help me feel better when I can cross something off. Lists also help me feel a little more organized in my crazy world. Some people think lists are no good, that its limiting. But I disagree. One of the first things people who talk about successfully achieving your goals is to make a list of the goals. I say keep writing 'em! <BR/>-NadjaNadjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15757782781966809222noreply@blogger.com
