Vision Board Book Valentine’s Giveaway

by jenn on February 5, 2009

This Valentine’s Day I’m raffling off a copy of “The Vision Board: The Secret to an Extraordinary Life” by Joyce Schwarz. This inspirational read features vision boards from more than 100 artists, including me!

In the book, Joyce shares her visioning method called GRABS, which stands for:

Gratitude
Release and Receive
Acknowledge and Ask
Be and Believe
Share

An important way to show gratitude, the first step in her process, is to start with appreciation for yourself. Since Valentine’s Day is coming up, it’s a great time to practice self-love. So, I’d love to hear… What do you love about you?

Here’s how the giveaway works:

Leave a comment below with your answer to the question “What do you love about you?”
All submissions must be entered by 11:59pm PST on Saturday, February 14th, 2009.
The winner will be randomly drawn from all submissions and announced on this blog by Monday, February 16th, 2009.

The Vision Board book also has a whole chapter about Relationships including how to vision finding love, strengthening your existing partnership and connecting with your family. I’m looking forward to sharing this resource with you! Good luck!

P.S. – Speaking about visions, I recently did a podcast on how to make your big visions real on the Big Vision Podcast with Britt Bravo. Please, take a listen.

Thanks Jennifer! Very fun! Enjoy the day! Erin

Irene D February 9, 2009 at 3:52 pm: I love that I enjoy being ‘present’ with people- I listen to what they are saying, enjoy the experience, focus on the ‘now’. It’s something that many people don’t do, and it makes all the difference.

kathryn February 13, 2009 at 11:20 am: That I am conscious and ALWAYS trying to be a better person even when it’s easier to look away, or be grouchy & punishing. I’ve pushed myself very hard through my adult years to be loving, giving and compassionate…and now I like myself very much and it’s so much easier to be all those things I want to be. Because in the end that’s all you can take with you.

Barbara February 14, 2009 at 10:49 am: What do I love about myself? I can name lots of things I love about other people I care about, but when it comes to ME it becomes very difficult. But I am taking on this challenge because this is something I really need to work on and it is one of my resolutions for 2009–What I love about myself is the courageous I show each and every day as I face challenging health issues that have taken a great deal away.
