It started several years ago with a picture of the “Treasury” in the ancient city of Petra in Jordan that was in a catalog from Young Living Essential Oils.  I cut it out and it has been floating around my office; on the wall, the end of the bookcase, on the file cabinet, etc., for more than four years.  I was deeply drawn to its magnificence, history and mystery.  Little did I know, the picture was also a “vision board” which the universe took as a seed of an idea, “I would love to see that in person someday,”  and created an opportunity.  Over the holidays I visited Jordan and saw not only the “Treasury”  but multiple other archeological sites including Mt. Nebo where Moses first viewed the “Promised Land,” and Bethany, the site on the Jordan River where Jesus was baptized. So many of the names and place we know come from that area.

But the history lesson is not my point today.  What I want to share comes from my experience as a life coach.  Visioning is a powerful tool for creating events and experiences in your life.  I have often found in my own life that I do not need to keep pleading my case to the universe.  A sincere, even momentary, heartfelt desire is the path to manifestation.  As shown in this case, sometimes the things that we have the least attachment to are more likely to come about.  This desire was far from the “top” of my list, or so I thought, and yet it came up and flowed into place.  And everything else on my list now has been positively altered because of the fresh perspective travel creates.

It is a new year and if you have not created a vision board this year, now is the time!
