Another kind of Inspiration Board..

are shadow boxes...

perfect for keeping tid-bits of dreams we've yet to enjoy, exciting and delicious things we're looking forward to appearing in our future.

I found shadow boxes on sale last year at Pottery Barn in the US. But if you can't locate them, here's a novel idea... why not create an inpiration board in your head? It's free, and takes up very little space!

So as you go about your day, begin to become aware of the things you observe that you would like more of in your life... perhaps, as you pass a travel agency, a picture of a beautiful, palm fringed beach catches your eye. If you dream of enjoying a holiday, mentally "clip" out that image. Pretend to tuck it in a special corner of your mind which is dedicated to creating future memories.

You see a happy couple holding hands... or a girl walking the perfect pup you'd love to have... or you see a course advertised you'd love to attend. Mentall y gather up all these images and joyfully, happily, put them in the same place in your mind.

You can go back, fish them out and enjoy looking at them anytime you want. And if you do this joyfully, you may not even realise it, but very quickly many of the various images will show up in your life, as yours.

It's the Law of Atraction, in action.

you want to know a funny story? well, since being back in Australia, I've been absolutely fascinated by what people are wearing. Between the thongs, thongs, thongs (footwear, that is) and the muu-muus; i really fell in love with the beautiful lemon colour being sported around with big smiles by happy, fit-looking young things-and in particular, lemon playsuits- oooh la la, they look so fresh and fun! After just lusting after them for a week; simply appreciating the gorgeousness of anyone wearing yellow... quite accidentally this morning i stumbled upon une gorgeous petite lemon playsuit- kinda but not that much, like this - that amazingly, actually looked good on me, too! Natalie would call it synchronicity; I like to call it "accidentally realising the law of attraction"- the best way of living, ever. Of course, it had to be bought, and I've been enjoying wearing it all afternoon :)

"You are the creator of your own life experience, and as the creator of your experience, it is important to understand that it is not by virtue of your action, not by virtue of your doing—it is not even by virtue of what you are saying—that you are creating. You are creating by virtue of the thought that you are offering. "- Abraham-Hicks
