All of the things you envision, all of the success you want, can take flight…You absolutely have the potential to live On Purpose–it’s about stepping up and choosing to run your life instead of feeling like life is running you.
Tanya Dalton–author of On Purpose: The Busy Woman’s Guide to an Extraordinary Life of Meaning and Success
I’ve had quite a few I-can’t-believe-this-is-coming-true-for-me vision board moments, but before I tell you about them, let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I’m a girl who hails from a lower middle class family where her dad was a roofer and her mom was a stay-at-home-mom living in a small town in Ohio who followed the traditional route of graduating high school, graduating college, getting a “good” job (as a high school English teacher) with “good” benefits, getting married, buying a house (well, we actually bought 4 so far), and having & raising kids.
But I’m also a girl who in May of 2021 bought a Class A Motorhome with her husband, sold her house in August 2021, left her “safe, secure” teaching career of 28 years, closed down her built-from-scratch-local meal prep business, dropped her daughters off at college, moved into the RV with her husband, started traveling the country, and became a twice certified life coach.
How did I go from living a life on autopilot to living a life on purpose?
I created a vision.
I first discovered the power of vision boards–well, really, the power of the PROCESS of creating vision boards–in 2016.
I was craving an up-level in my life that included moving from the suburbs to the city, starting a business, getting a dog (a 10 year yearning), getting into great physical shape, and traveling.
In the days leading up to January 1st, 2016, I spent time tapping into how I wanted 2016 to feel and what experiences I wanted to call into my life to create that feeling. Then I selected pictures of things that represented that feeling and those experiences.
The things I manifested off my vision board in 2016 include:
- bought a 1930 Tudor house $100,00 below market
- hired a designer to remodel our kitchen from the ground up
- attended a Tony Robbins personal development seminar, purchased my dog
- worked with a web designer to build my meal prep brand and website
- got into the best shape of my life
- steered my marriage away from what felt like imminent divorce.
I did the same process again in 2021.
And here I sit not confined to a classroom as a certified life coach (long-time dream of mine) in my 45′ home on wheels having traveled to more than 17 states in just one year.
You don’t have to actually leave your job, sell your home, and move into an RV to live an extraordinary life, but you DO need to know what it is you ACTUALLY want for your life–how you want it to FEEL and what EXPERIENCES you want to have.
You DO need to allow yourself–to give yourself permission-to DREAM. PERMISSION to EXPAND. Permission to BELIEVE that anything really, truly is possible for you.
In my FREE 5 Day Vision Board Workshop, I will walk you through the exact steps I used in 2016 and in 2021 that produced unbelievable results in my life. These are the same steps I am using to create a vision for 2023.
The group will take place in an off-social media group platform. Each day I will post prompts that guide you to reflect, to dream, to and plan for 2023. The next round starts December 26-December 30th.
I will also post videos to help inspire and motivate you to drop your limiting beliefs about yourself and your life.
And, I will be available to answer questions, help you brainstorm and overcome limiting beliefs if you need it.
I once doubted that I–a girl of average talent who hails from a small town–could actually make my dreams come true, but I am here to tell you that if I can do it, so can you!
Come join me!
Let’s create visions on purpose and with purpose for an extraordinary new year!

It’s time to stop operating at ordinary levels and choose to be extraordinary.
