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.
