I’ve been using treasure maps (referred to as VISION BOARDS in the Secret) for over 10 yrs., but I hadn’t made one in quite a while.

Lately I’ve been feeling a bit stagnant in my career as a musician/recording artist. Things had been going great for the last year or so, but recently I’d begun to feel stuck – like my life’s at a standstill. I knew from past experience that creating a NEW vision board would breathe new life & energy into my dreams.

I started cutting out pictures that reflected things I wanted to attract. I focused only on pictures that created an excited feeling inside me – that “butterflies in the stomach” feeling. After I found all the pictures I wanted to use, I began gluing them onto the board. The whole vision board process is so much fun that it immediately gets your vibration going – and that, I know is a very powerful attractive force to the Universe. So, I kept going …

I starting placing pictures on the board of things that made me feel joyful – pictures of people who seemed to be in love to reflect my happy relationship… pictures of venues where I’d love to perform … and lots of pictures of things I’d like to own. Then I made sure to put a picture of ME in the center so that it was clear that I wanted these things for myself (something Mike Dooley always suggests.)

I thought I was just about finished, but there were still a couple of things I’d cut out that weren’t on the board yet. One of those were the words “unexpected cash.” Another was the logo for BMI (which is a performance rights org. that collects royalties for musicians). I considered leaving them off, since I’d already put pictures of cash and lots of other specific things I wanted to attract. Still “something” was telling me I should include these last items, so I found a way to squeeze them in … and then I felt my vision board was COMPLETE.

Well, I included this story just to show you how important it is to follow your f-e-e-l-i-n-g-s (as Rhonda emphasizes) because The Universe actually communicates to us VIA our feelings. I also wanted to post this story as proof not only that this stuff works, but also how FAST it can work, if your desire is clear & focused.

In my mail – THE VERY SAME DAY I created my vision board – was an UNEXPECTED CHECK for $242 from BMI – for the usage of my song performed on a national talk show! How’s THAT for fast?!!

Then 3 days later, I received an email from a major record company requesting permission to use one of my songs on a compilation CD. I was thrilled.

All this after creating my vision board and it’s only been 1 week as I write this. I’m so excited to see how my dreams will unfold. The Universe is amazing and all I can say is thank you – thank you – thank you thank you – thank you – thank you – thank you!!
