If you missed last week's Super Soul Sunday episode on Oprah's OWN Network, you should visit her website and watch it. She sat down with Author Cynthia Bond and she shared her amazing story about her vision board. Here is the link, the dream board part starts around 32minutes. 

Cynthia's visionboard included: Oprah, Oprah with a quote saying she likes her book, the Oprah Bookclub symbol, New York Times Bestseller and Super Soul Sunday! Her visionboard is now reality!

Here's the weekly non visionboard law of attraction story! Yes, I'm posting a little later than normal, The Walking Dead Marathon on AMC has had my undivided attention.

This week's story is about a woman who was able to manifest a 4 month house-sitting opportunity in Bali Indonesia. This is secretly one of my dreams, my vision board is filled with pictures of Bali. I'd love to spend a month there next year.

Here's what she said happened:

"Housesitting is freaking awesome, and as such, there are oodles of people looking to do it, from location independent folk like Ryan and I, to those trying to to save for a house of their own.
So, the average assignment is going to attract a lot of interest. Only one applicant is going to get picked, maybe a few, if it is a longer term assignment.

I have applied to a handful of assignments, and in order to give a bit more pop to our inquiry, I always like to include links to our Facebook pages and blogs to show more of who we are and what we are like. In all my excitement about this potential gem, I realized I forgot to do this about a day after.

And I got a bit worried, thinking that I missed a chance to help us stand out a bit more, that some piece of information contained within these pages might have made us seem more appealing, and now we might miss out. Obviously that didn’t matter because they picked us. We were aligned, and there was nothing that would have stood in the way of that. And if we hadn’t gotten picked, it would have had nothing to do with my forgetting to add those links.

Which brings me to my next point—there is no such thing as competition, only unlimited abundance of all kinds, and the ability to create what we want. Many people lament their inability to find a housesit because of the competition.

While we certainly have not been offered every assignment we have applied for, I would say landing long-term assignments in Fiji and Bali shows we are aligned quite nicely. The owner of this house said that within three hours of posting, 25 people had emailed her, and many more over the next couple of days. I remember the owners of of the Fiji house said that over 40 people contacted them. These people liked us best..don’t know why, who we were up against or whatever else was factored in, but ultimately it doesn’t matter.
When I saw this assignment, I won’t lie, I got pretty excited. This was the exact situation I had always said would be great, and to see it pop up, especially when it was something that I had not given any thought to, was really cool. This whole making a statement in passing, and then just letting it go, without any sort of attachment or thinking about it, is really the best way to go about getting stuff in my opinion.

But, I did my best to rein myself in. I sent my email and worked on cultivating a sense of detachment. She got back to us within a couple of days and did an interview. It went very well. It sounded good for us, but more people to be interviewed, and she would get back in touch. More time passed than I had thought, and I was getting a bit antsy. I kind of needed to know whether this was going to happen so I could proceed with other plans if not. But, I kept my cool, and eventually she got back in touch. Lots of stuff going on with her, and that is why she hadn’t emailed sooner."

I think it's interesting to see which celebrities use visionboards and what they have on them.

Singer Kelly Rowland has a place on her board for Kanye West

"He's literally in the center of one of my vision boards," she told Huff Post Live. "I love how gutsy he is. I love how he speaks his mind."

While she'd love to collaborate on a song, Kelly says she's been too shy to approach him.

She did make a vow for the next time she sees him though, "I'll definitely just pick his brain," she said. "I think he's genius."

This track and field coach has his student athletes write down their goals each week. In this video, he shows the goals the athletes's wrote just before the last track meet. The students were able to hit their goals or come really close, take a look at the video

It's the weekend, and as we normally do, here's a non visionboard law of attraction story. It's about speaking things into existence.
Today's story is about Nick Nannon and Maria Carrey. Nick always claimed that he spoke the relationship into existence. There was once an msnbc article about Nick Cannon, the singer, performer, actor, TV judge, and CEO of Nickelodeon’s teen channel—and Mariah Carey’s husband. The piece said, essentially, that Nick feels he’s gotten everything he’s wanted in life so far by believing he could have it and saying that he’ll get it. . 

Here is how Nick Cannon put it:

“I truly believe in speaking things into existence. Not to get all Tony Robbins, but you speak it, and it can definitely happen to you.”

And as the article pointed out, he didn’t just do this in business; he did this in his love life, too. “For years,” the article says, “Cannon would tell any interviewer who asked that his celebrity crush was Mariah Carey.” It led to presenting awards with her, and a business meeting in 2008.

“I put on my good cologne,” Cannon said, “did some push-ups. Tried to get my grown-man look on.”

It obviously worked. Nick and Mariah were married.

Believe, say you want it, and you’ve started yourself on the path to getting it.

If you haven't picked up a copy of our book "speak it into existence" you should get yours today.

Here's anther visionboard manifestation example. Here's what she said:

"I created the following vision board last year in regards to carving out the lifestyle/business I REALLY wanted, achieving health/fitness I have only dreamed of before & getting BALANCE in my life. I saved it as my computer’s desktop image as well as into my iPhone’s camera roll.
NOW ~ I have Bliss Inventive {where I’ve rolled all my passions into one spot}; we have more abundance than ever; my business has doubled in size & there’s other members in the team; I am fitter than ever; and have created a lifestyle of balance, me-time & FUN! Dude, I cannot tout the benefit of a vision board to ASSIST affirmations, goal-setting, journalling, daily Seize The Day worksheets & ACTION to make bliss happen. Tried & tested baby!!"

If you missed our blog post about how Lucinda Cross created a vision board while in jail, and was able to manifest things like being on the cover of Essence magazine and NBC, check our archives. Now she has made a career out of vision boards. At her vision-board parties ­— which cost between $40 and $100 per student and tend to sell out ­— Cross is met with enthusiasm from a crowd (typically 75-150 people).

She made a vision board, unconsciously at first, then very deliberately. Here's what she said:

"I think I made my first ‘vision board’ without realizing it. I was still studying finance while nursing secret dreams of doing something more creative. My ‘vision board’ was a newspaper article about famous people who had successfully changed their careers to follow their passions. Doctors-turned-musicians, accountants-turned-award winning movie directors and so on… This little newspaper cutout was taped on the inside of my cupboard and I used to see it every single day.

Almost a decade later, while still working in finance, I made another one, this time, more consciously. It had amongst many other things, a picture of an art exhibition and another picture of a business card that read ‘Kavita Aras Rajput, Artist’.

And here I am, 4 years later… waiting for my first solo exhibition to open in two weeks, having made that transition from finance to art.
