EASILY Visioning a Better Year, life, relationship etc


What is a Vision Board?

Vision board is created by an individual to illustrate what he wants in this life. A vision board is a personal collection of an individual desires and no restrictions are placed on the images or words displayed on the board.

A vision board may be a combination of life areas such as career, finances, family, and health or it may only highlight one life area such as finances. A student vision board will differ from an adult's vision board. For example, a student will not be focused on her career but rather on her education.

A vision board is created by pasting images and words on a poster board to display the individuals goals. The images can be magazine photos, personal photos, or hand drawn pictures and sketches. As well, the words can be cut from media formats or be handwritten.

WHAT THE AUTHOR SAID & DID............ WHAT GREAT KARMA!
Every morning and every evening I surf around the net looking for mentions of The Vision Board: The Secret to an Extraordinary Life and when I find them I usually make a helpful comment or two if I can. In this case early this morning I saw that a blogger's holiday vision was to get a copy of my book. SO, I fulfilled that vision and she was stunned. You attract what you vision -- this is a simple example. She wanted my book -- so why not give her one for reviewing and one for her to give away in a contest on her blog. VISION FULFILLED !



EVEN THE AUTHOR OF THE MILLIONAIRE MIND agrees with the thought process of the VISION BOARD

ANJIES THOUGHTS AND MUSINGS ON THE VISION BOARD AND THE BOOK

I have added this book to the MUST READ list on the left of this page. I have been actually reading this one in conjunction with a few other creative /scrapbooking/art books in order to get "pumped up" for the holiday season! I am ready to jump in with both feet create a Vision Board(s) and share them too!

I used to HATE the skit on SNL with the positive affirmations "I am beautiful" " I am loved"
etc etc in front of the mirror, telling yourself positive things about yourself and being your own cheerleader just turned me off................... THEN I BECAME A SOCIAL WORKER. As a Social Worker I saw how many people had to do this (self affirmation process) just to make it a day in life without self medicating to the point of atrophy and/or teens that were morbidly self destructive due to lack of self esteem. These vision boards are not only a great tool for the "average" joe but also appears to be a great tool for the field of social work.

The author of this book not only makes the process a simple one (step by step instructions) but also is a source of beauty and inspiration. I recommend the hard cover edition of this book as it is sure to get lots of use and is definitely a book you will either want to keep for years or pass along to others after the "process" is perfected!

I am going to VISION a wonderful 2009 via the VISION BOARD with my family. What a great family project for New Years Eve........... make a vision board together for 2009 wow , a REVELATION that is much better than a "resolution" Have fun!

Laundry Savings + CLOROX 2

I am all about FRUGAL and saving money on things. One of the biggest savings that I have in my household (besides groceries) is Laundry Detergent. I hate the hiked up laundry product prices and have been disgruntled about the "cease in making the small box" that I used to get for pennies after coupon usage (doubled) in the grocery store. I live for laundry product free samples and would otherwise buy the $2.99 laundry detergent at food lion, if I didn't MYO (make your own) laundry soap. This saves me an incredible about of money and my clothes smell good for pennies.

PREVIOUS POST ON MYO LAUNDRY SOAP AND DRYER SHEETS
MYO............ Powdered Laundry Detergent
1 cup grated Fels Naptha Soap (I use 1/2 a bar for each batch and make 2 batches at a time)
1/2 cup washing soda
1/2 cup 20 mule team borax
Mix and store in airtight container or bag. For light loads, use 2 tablespoon. For heavy loads, use 3 tablespoons.
ANJIE NOTE: THIS RECIPE SAVES YOUR TONS OF MONEY! if you cannot find the ingredients locally you can purchase them
here

MYO DRYER SHEETS : use a matchless sock and liquid fabric softener. Put a quarter size dab on the sock of the liquid softener. Rub the sock together until the sock is not wet but rather damp and throw in the dryer with a load of clothes. CHEAP softener is AOK, I love using free product samples to do this!

Now one of the draw backs of MYO laundry detergent is that the colors and whites are not as deeply colored or bright white if you do not use BLEACH of some sort. So then we start talking about the added expense of doing laundry one more time. I like for my clothes to last a long time. I am not a slave to fashion and tend to buy more of "what i like" than what is "in style." This drives my daughters crazy, and they threaten me with "what not to wear" from time to time! :) I tend to wear 70's style , gypsy-ish long dresses A LOT! :)

USING CLOROX 2 stain fighter and color booster is a savings in the long run........... your clothes last longer and look "newer" too! The cost of a bottle for 33 loads is about $7 -$8 at our local food lion or .25 cents a load. I have found that I can stretch a 33 load bottle into 40 loads further reducing the cost to 20cents per load. This is a small price to pay for the RESULTS in SAVING YOUR CLOTHING from the TRASH BIN due to stains and/or dulling color, dingy whites. Not only is it effective in treating stains it is also easy to use. It doesn't add but a couple of seconds to the time it takes to do your laundry and works most of the time! :)

GREAT ODDS! THANK YOU CLOROX for letting us try your product! YOU ROCK! I will be drawing a winner for the Clorox2 on DECEMBER 1st! make sure you are in it to win it!

Seat Snug Child Auto Safety Device







After watching the video above , there is NO WAY you wouldn't want to get the "seat snug" product. It is easy to use and easy to install. For my Granddaughter (age 6) this is a terrific product, keeping her seat from slipping in case of a sharp turn or accident - it is priceless!



Why Do We Need SeatSnug®?

Children in booster seats are at risk of injury and death due to seatbelt slack (looseness). The three-point seatbelt commonly used in motor vehicles, represents a compromise between safety and comfort. A three-point seatbelt allows slack to develop in the lap belt portion while children (or adults!) are riding in a vehicle. Seatbelt slack is acknowledged in the auto industry as a major contributor to injuries and deaths in vehicular accidents.

A loose seatbelt allows a child in a booster seat to bounce around, rock, tip, slide, and even fall over during normal vehicle maneuvering, which can result in injuries, such as a child’s head being thrown against the side of the vehicle, as well as leading to child discomfort, including motion sickness. In frontal impact accidents or during panic stops, a loose seatbelt can further lead to a child submarining under the lap belt. Loose lap belts are also contributors to children, whether in a booster seat or riding without a booster seat, ejecting out of the seatbelt in rollover accidents, allowing children to “fly around” the vehicle, resulting in the potential for severe injuries and even death—even though the seatbelt was buckled!

What’s the Solution?

The brand new SeatSnug® allows the lap belt to be lightly tightened around a child’s hips while riding in a vehicle, preventing seatbelt slack or looseness from developing.

By gently securing a child while riding in a booster seat, SeatSnug® substantially eliminates bouncing, rocking, tipping, falling over, submarining, and ejection, thus reducing the potential for injuries and death in vehicular accidents. At the same time, SeatSnug® improves child stability and comfort.

How Does SeatSnug® Work?

SeatSnug® can be easily and quickly clipped onto a vehicle’s existing factory installed seatbelt. Once a child in a booster seat is buckled up, the lap belt may be lightly tightened around the child’s hips by pulling up on the shoulder strap to more safely secure the child, without affecting the normal operation of the shoulder strap. The child continues to have the comfort of free upper body movement. Thus, SeatSnug® enhances child safety while maintaining and enhancing comfort.

SeatSnug® incorporates the unique race track proven, crash tested, and patented CG-Lock® Technology (visit www.CG-Lock.com for more insights about the CG-Lock).

The CG-Lock technology received The National Parenting Center’s Seal of Approval as a unique car safety device that stabilizes children in booster seats to increase child safety and comfort. SeatSnug® is a CG-Lock technology product designed specifically for children, to provide peace of mind to Moms and Grandmoms, while they drive children around.
