My first self portrait and it is in the middleof my board!

Today I made a dream board. My friend Lesley told me about them and I found this site while searching about them. Why is it scary? Well, I tend to not have dreams. Never had them, always felt speechless when someone asked me what I wanted in life. I am almost 42. Very sad that I am only starting to dream now, but no time like the present. My husband is incredible, he has always encouraged me not to think so small...to think BIG! I should listen!!

So when I looked at my blank board this afternoon, I thought "what on earth do I put on here?". It is now 7pm and it is still growing. I have put things up, taken things off, moved them around...it is getting there, I could become obsessed with it!

I am discovering that I do have dreams, things I want in life, things that I love around me, things I could improve with very little effort, just a bit of perseverance. I am an artist and I am working towards my first exhibition after leaving art school 20 years ago with a resounding lack of confidence. And I am so excited!!

Thank you for this marvelous site. I do believe that all the wonderful things that are happening are because I am finally dreaming and having faith and attracting them. I am grateful that I have had encouragement from my friend Lesley today to do this board and I am grateful for finding you!! I am looking at it and I can feel that there is so much more yet to be put up!

Thanks! Andrea
