Envisioning Possibilities –
Travel
Travel and Helpful People is one of the locations on my Bagua.
A story about the law of attraction – is it something you want?
I created a vision board about nine years ago based on feng shui and the bagua. I continue to use the Bagua template on an annual basis.
In the bottom right-hand corner are Travel and Helpful People. My intention, then, was to focus more on career and reputation and making money. I wasn’t paying attention to the lower right-hand corner. The corner is where the Dreams of Travel and Helpful People reside. This vision board of 2015 was cut and pasted with a friend visiting for this event. As we chatted and pasted, I cut out two cruise ships and put them in that corner without actively thinking about traveling. I filled the remaining part of this 30 x 60-inch dreamland with beautiful pictures of family, relationships, good health, career, wisdom, and many Dollar Signs.
As I was dragging out a new board, I looked at the previous year’s board. It had been sitting at my desk in my home office for almost a year. On the board were two cruise ships. We had taken a cruise with our friends in February and one with our family over Thanksgiving. They were both unplanned. It was an AHA to me. Yes, I believe in the law of attraction, but I think it believes in me.

The Designer’s Advantage – Speaking with Pictures and Plans
Behind every great design is a story: a spark of inspiration, a client’s dream, a challenge overcome.
Conflict Resolution Starts with Conversation
In design and in business conflict is inevitable. Whether it’s a client who changes direction mid-project or a team member who misses a deadline, tensions can rise fast. But most conflicts don’t come from bad intentions; they come from miscommunication. The good news? Strong communication skills can turn potential clashes into opportunities for collaboration and clarity.
