Setting Goals
I wrote the following post two years ago. I completed some of my goals on my vision board. I lost weight and feel great. I focused more on my blog. I got out more on road trips and gained more faith and confidence in myself. This morning inspired me, and I added more things to my vision board. You don’t have to wait until the new year to start your goals. You have the power inside you to unlock your full potential right now!

Overcome your fears, get inspired, and reach for the stars.
Hosting My First Vision Board Party
I had the pleasure of hosting my first Vision Board party. I’m excited to share the great tools that helped me manifest my goals and dreams. I have new goals and am ready to share them with others. We set goals, and either we follow them or we forget them. I’m not perfect, and following goals is a struggle for me. Life can get busy, and finding time can be challenging, but we can make it happen.ย
Every January, a New Year’s Resolution list is made, and those goals are often forgotten by March. I read some great books that helped me list and prioritize my plans. In the digital age, most, if not all, of these books areย available for free on YouTube. You can also create a solo Vision Board without a group. Follow the steps I’ll list.ย Men can also do a Vision Board, minus the arts and crafts. Get a notebook, write down your goals, and follow the same steps below. Vision Boards are great for kids, too.ย

It doesn’t matter how old you are. We can change our destiny. I was given some motivational books that inspired me. I felt like I could finally pursue what I wanted. I kept a journal. I wrote down what I wanted in life and a new job. I received everything I asked for. I became a walking motivational speaker. I know I may have annoyed some people with my enthusiastic speeches, but I believe everyone can accomplish their goals if they stick to them. Consistency is key.

I recently wrote down some new goals and took them back to the beginning. I decided to share this and host a Vision Board Party. I want to help others get started by helping them identify and achieve their goals. The following books helped me prioritize and learn the key elements of success. Many of these books are at the library or bookstore, or you can listen to them on YouTube.
MOTIVATIONAL BOOKS
- The Secret Rhonda Byrne
- The Science of Getting Rich, Wallace D. Wattles
- The Essence of Success Earl Nightingale
- The Power of Habit Charles Duhigg
- Eat That Frog! 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastination and Get More Done, Brian Tracy.
Make a Guest List
Decide where you will host your party. Make sure you will have space to accommodate your guest. The guest should have room to spread out. You will have magazines and supplies when making your boards.
I created my invitations and printouts, using Canva. ย https://www.canva.com/ย
I tried to decide on a day and time that would be best for people to gather. I chose the third Saturday of the month from 4 pm to 8 pm. I went through my list of contacts and my Facebook friends page. I created a Facebook Event page to keep guests informed about the upcoming party and included fun quotes and memes to keep invitees engaged.

SUPPLIES
I purchased supplies from the Dollar Store (also known as Dollar Tree), where I found cool decorations for my daughter’s Vision Board. Walmart also had a great selection of crafts.
- Foam Poster Board
- Glue Sticks for Guests (I prefer Elmer’s glue stick)
- Markers
- Scissors
- Magazines (Cut out words or images)
- Motivational Print Outs ( Send me your email for free adult and children motivational printouts)
- Glitter Glue (optional)

FOOD
Be aware of your guests’ allergies. I prepared cheese, olives, chips, and dip. I asked the guest to bring wine or a dessert, and we had baked lasagna and salad. I had water, seltzer, ginger ale, and wine. Please avoid greasy foods, as you will be cutting and pasting them with your boards. I had my guests eat before we started. The magazines and poster boards took up the space, so you don’t want food spilling over.

GETTING STARTED
I had guests introduce themselves. I had each person tell everyone what they did for a living and what their goals were. As guests arrived, I had them do the same. I handed out a Goals Worksheet so that the guests knew where to start: Family Goals, Inspirational Word for the Year, Financial Goals, Career Goals, and Physical Goals.
- Ensure you have sufficient space for the board and comfortable seating for your guests.
- Remind guests what a Vision Board is and how to create one.
- If you’re doing your Vision Board alone, complete your goal worksheet and visualize your goals. Then, picture yourself acting on your goals and achieving them.
- Go through your magazines and cut out images or inspirational quotes that appeal to you. Next, cut out your vision board quotes that match your goal. Finally, paste all your cutouts on your board.
- Use a Photo of yourself (optional)
- Some may not finish their vision boards during the party. Let guests know it’s ok if you don’t quit. I asked guests to complete them at home and send me their pictures.
- If guests finish their boards, ask them to share them with the group
- Please take a Photo of your Vision Board and use it as a screensaver to remind you of your goals.
- Place your Vision Board somewhere you will see it every day
- Please start with the small goals you want and cross them off once you complete them.
- Don’t overwhelm yourself. Start with one goal on your list and set a deadline for its completion. Use your phone to set daily reminders.

I enjoyed a fun evening with a great group of women. We shared dreams and goals that we would accomplish. I said we are here to build one another up and help one another grow. We are strong women, and although life gets busy, we must start making time for ourselves. You have already taken the first step by reading this article.
You’re ready to make a change. Close your eyes and visualize how you will feel when you have completed your goals. Celebrate your achievements once you reach your goals. Reach out to friends or family if you get stuck or lose motivation. Could you read the following books I suggested? They were great when I doubted myself.
Before you go, if this message resonated with you, Iโd love for you to continue this journey.
My book,ย Let Yourself Bloom: Affirmations to Nourish Your Spirit,ย along with itsย accompanyingย guided journalย andย coffee-table edition, isย designed to fill your spaceโand your spiritโwith daily encouragement. Each page is a gentle reminder to pause, reflect, and let yourself bloomโinside and out.
