Vision Board or Life Cycle Plan

When creating a vision board, there are certain ways in which you decorate it in order to make it more effective.  Here's an image:

I have a few areas left to fill in on my vision board, but I'm already so excited about it!!

Here are some basic steps to follow:

1- start collecting pictures from the Internet, magazines, catalogs wherever!

2- get a large white poster board (or any color would be fine really)

3- get scissors, tape (or anything to stick your images on the board with)

4- start placing things in the right area.  Sometimes I find an Inge that I know isn't for right now, but in the future so I'll save it in an envelope for my next vision board.

5- hang it up where you'll see it daily.  

Good luck!!  This is an awesome activity and it's setting goals visually so if you're a very visual person, this is a great activity!!

Ivy's 3rd birthday party!

We had an impromptu birthday party for Ivy at grandma and grandpa's house on her birthday.  I was going to do a small party for her at our house once daddy got home from work, but we decided to have more fun with all her cousins... And grandma made her a pink princess cake, which was a HIT!  

I LOVE my little girl SO much!  She's a ball of energy that just loves everyone even if she's quite shy at times!  She's very forgiving also and doesn't hold grudges...  She's creative and loves girlie things and loves to dance and sing!  I'm so grateful for the blessing of this girl in my life!

Nikken Leadership Conference Las Vegas

Dirk and I headed to Vegas at the end of October for Nikken's leadership conference!  It was a blast!!!

We shared a room with my parents and again Emmitt was a total trooper!!  Noelle was there and Chanelle came to visit one night.  They baby sat Emmitt while dirk and I went to our first presidents club dinner!

It was fun to see so much of our nikken family there!!!  

Eagle Expo in Spokane, WA

In September, my aunt Noelle and I took a road trip to Spokane, WA.  We stayed at the Mirabeau Park hotel and my cousin Courtney stayed with us even though she lives close by in Post Falls, ID.  It was a girls weekend!!  Ethel Harris roomed with us too.  She's from Gilbert, AZ and is a fun part of our nikken biz!

We had a great time with Geoff, Kimball, Rick, Bonna and others!!

I loved visiting with Noelle and Coco!  They are two amazing women!!!
