vision boards



A homeschool vision board is the same as a personal vision board.  The main difference between a personal vision board and a homeschool board is it will be about the vision you have for each of your children and the vision you have for your school.

 A vision board is a tool used to help clarify, concentrate and maintain focus on a specific life goal. Literally, a vision board is any sort of board on which you display images that represent whatever you want to work on, goals for each of your children, your self, or things you want for your school.

The human imagination is powerful, but it works like a muscle. For most of us, that power remains potential power and it's never fully utilized. A vision board allows you to exercise your imagination regularly, creating a more vivid vision of your ideal homeschool life as you develop your ability to make your visions, tangible and the benefits attainable.
You'll need:
  • a posterboard, cork board or small canvas.
  • a stack of old magazines.
  • scissors.
  • markers or paint.
  • glue, tape, thumbtacks or pins.
  • a photo of yourself (optional)


STEP 1:
Set aside about an hour to complete your vision board. Go to a quiet space in your home where you can concentrate on your goals for each child and your school.   

STEP 2:

Create a relaxing atmosphere. Put on some music, light a few candles if you want. Close your eyes and take a moment to reflect on your big goals and dreams. What do you want your ideal life to look like?

STEP 3:

Cut out images from magazines that represent the life you want to live. For example, if you want to become a fashion designer, you might clip photos of models wearing designer clothing on the runway. If you want to find a great romantic partner, you might snip pictures of happy couples smiling at each other.

STEP 4:

Place the photo of yourself in the middle of the board (optional). Then, paste or pin your magazine images on your board. There’s no “right way” to arrange your images. You can fill the board with pictures or just have a few posted all over on the board.

STEP 5:

Use your markers or paint to write your personal mantra or other favorite quotes onto your vision board. You can also just cut out words or phrases from the magazines to paste on your board that remind you of the life you want to live.

STEP 6:

Display your vision board somewhere you’ll see it every day and feel inspired! If you like, you can also frame your vision board and hang it on your wall.
And there you have it – an easy, step-by-step process for creating a vision board to help you reach your goals. I hope it’s useful to you!

My struggling Reader!

So I've taken full ownership of my struggle (as I am sure many of you have), I wear it like a badge of shame a ugly cape for a very unsuccessful super hero.  I believe it is my fault that my daughter is not reading yet that at 8 she is not a strong reader.  I truly believe that there must have been something I could have done to help her get it better,  I go back and forth with the fact that maybe if she was in school with a real teacher helping her she would be a strong reader by now,,, I read somewhere the other day that "Struggle" shows that something is going on....Me being me I went and looked up the word struggle with new eyes.. Struggle is a verb It implies action It implies effort It implies giving all you've got. So I've come to understand that what this word means for me is that I'm not growing comfortable, that good enough is not enough for me.  That I am moving forward....  I am going to let up on myself and understand that eventually she will

A God Guided Home School !

When we started home schooling 19 years ago it was with the perception that it would be "school" (just at home), with a neat little class room, organized to the tee. Over the last few years, we have learned that "school" is not confined to a room (for sure) and a time . Home schooling is a vital, growing aspect of family life. Helping children learn about their-self, their family, the world around them; all are very important but them getting to know God and His awesome plans for them in His world takes the top award. I began home schooling with the idea that I would teach our children, things the public school was no longer offering, things I had been taught at their age. I truly believe that God makes no mistakes, in believing this God continues to teach me that true education is not merely facts, formulas, dates, or field trips. True education is seeing that these things are part of God's plan, created to help us begin to know Him, to help us build a re

Getting Organized!

Getting Organized! If you are like me I can become overwhelmed fast as I try to get things ready for the new year. It helps if I can take a few moments to do something out side my set up class room such as reading, or prayer this helps me to rediscover my goals and feel more in control of my life and my school schedule. There are times that I feel as if I have homeschool under control but my house is being attached by baby giants and starts to take on a life of its own.  But I have friends who’s homes are always spotless never a plate out of place, but they can’t seem to get on top of lesson plans and school goals and schedules are not a part of their school.  What I have learned over the years is that Homeschool families are all the same: drowning in a sea of clutter! I have also started to understand that organization is <em>not</em> about an immaculate house or quintessential neatness. There is not any one best way to organize. <em>Organization is a means
