Vision Boarding - What's all the craze about?

Guest blog post by member Ericka Fernandez & Jontrice Wells

Have you heard of VISION BOARDING?

Well, it’s time to jump on the bandwagon and join in. Vision boarding is an illustrative method to identify the goals and dreams you want to meet this year. Typically, it is done using a large poster board, magazine cut-outs, and craft supplies to beautify your board. Or, you can utilize technology such as a PowerPoint, and on some computers, there is a whiteboard that an individual can utilize to create a vision board.

There are also many examples on Pinterest, Google, and even YouTube to give you an idea of various Vision Board layouts. Many focus on areas such as Finance, Health, Career, Business, Family and Spiritual goals. I say it’s an opportunity to dream again, which means nothing is off the table.

The BIG question I have for you is “have you stopped dreaming?” If so, vision boarding is an opportunity for you to dream again. Vision Boarding is like declaring your New Year’s resolutions, except with your vision board, that declaration of your goals are dreams illustrated by Pictures and Words.

At Beyond Legacy we host Vision Board events. What makes Beyond Legacy’s vision boarding a unique experience you might ask? Beyond Legacy has added an additional spin to vision boarding by adding a legacy component to the vision. We provide a safe space and community that allows you to dream freely about what legacy you desire to leave for your business, family, ministry, family or community; we believe it’s “AN EXPERIENCE” like no other. With that in mind we have coined it “The Vision Board Experience” because it is done in a group session with keynote speakers and subject matter experts. It is a fun, thought provoking activity that allows you to think about what mark you want to leave in the various aspects of your life, as well as what you want to leave for the next generation.

Another question is what is it that you think the next generation needs that currently doesn’t exist? So, I challenge you to give Vision Boarding a try, gather your craft supplies, put on some music and begin to dream of the things you have always wanted to experience, such as places you’ve wanted to travel, things you want to create, personal goals you’ve put off like fitness, or maybe a talent you want to master. Crafting is my Zen, an escape, it allows you to tap into your creative side.

Putting a vision board together is only the beginning, the next step is an action plan. When you have written your vision and action plan, you begin to move towards your goals. Dreaming is fun, making dreams come true is fulfilling, otherwise we are merely existing. If you accept the challenge, I would love to see the finished product or if you need assistance in getting started or more information reach out to me and I will assist you.

Ericka Fernandez & Jontrice Wells the founders of Beyond Legacy also known as the “Legacy Ladies.” We are here to dispel the myths around who, what, when, and how legacy is transferred. It’s as simple as a passed down sweet potato bread recipes or as complex as an inheritance of money, real estate, or family business. Join us on the journey of conversing about how your impact never dies because you are the Legacy!
