“I am vibrant” – acrylic on canvas 8×8 inches

YAY to our first Color Challenge of the year – “Tangerine Tango”. I had a lot of fun creating something based on these colors. Click here to read about this challenge.

I created this whilst I was visiting with the lovely Tracy Verdugo at her gorgeous art studio in Jervis Bay. So much fun as we painted and chatted together one sunny afternoon.

Below is a series based on the layers I used to create my final piece which is called “I am vibrant”.

How did you feel creating in this wonderfully energetic color?

What’s on your vision board for 2012?

by Louise on January 8, 2012

Vision board for 2012

This weekend, my friend and I had so much fun creating our vision boards for the year ahead – just in time for the full moon! I decided to revert back to the traditional rectangle shape for my 2012 board and plan to continue with the mandala’s for the monthly dream boards for 2012.

Every year I host an intentions brunch with my friends in NYC and also a workshop for local dreamers to spend the day visioning. {So excited to be co-hosting a visioning workshop in Melbourne with Cathy Kirwan on 28th Jan), so being able to honor this tradition and process was so nurturing as I am away from home.

I am still working on my big Dream List for 2012 {will share later in January} and will be going through that process with the lovely participants in class {The January session starts TOMORROW YAY}, but some of these are already appearing on the board above. Here is a high level summary that is starting to emerge for 2012, based on my vision board:

  • Live a life with less clutter {physically and mentally} – getting back to the basics of who I am {consciousness, artist, spiritual, full of love, self-care, joy etc}
  • Attracting moments of romantic love and love in general – soul mates, soul friends and soul families to grow with.
  • Living a more simple life that is chilled, renewed and taking specific steps to get there.
  • Traveling to Spain, France and Italy – places I have been before, but looking at them with new eyes & opportunities
  • Nourishing myself from the inside out through good food, living well and looking after myself.
  • Sowing the seeds to begin a new creative journey to learn and grow in the world of surface pattern, design and art.
  • Fill my life with color, design and energy – let my true colors shine through.
  • Awaken my soul and spirit though more meditation, living in the moment and living a life that feels unlimited.
  • Earn as I learn – look for opportunities to work with others to help them achieve their goals and continue to learn myself. Ways to exchange energy through learning, coaching, monetary work and more.

Feng Shui your visions!

Many of you may already know how much I love learning about energy through my coaching and other experiences and Feng Shui-ing my own environment is definitely on my 2012 goal list! What was really interesting is that once I had created my board, thanks to my friend Diane – I realized many of the images and placement actually corresponded with the Feng Shui energy map. Diane had just Feng Shui-ed her new apartment so it was fun to see this emerge on our boards also – doing this intuitively! Some may be slightly out, but what a fun way to organize your visions to attract as much energy flow as possible.

Create your own vision board

How about creating a vision board of your own for the year ahead? You can download this free worksheet from me to get started or take it a step further and go through the full process of letting go of 2011, visioning 2012 and planning your year in the “Big Dreams, Small Wonders” e-course. OR if you are in the Melbourne area on January 28th, you can join Cathy Kirwan, myself and a lovely group of dreamers for a day of visioning and dreaming.

If you have already created a vision board, I’d love to see it. So please post a link in the comments below or pop an image in the flickr group.

Happy Visioning!
