The other day I did an exercise about working through a problem with Coach Joelle. I was instructed to picture an issue or concern and then envision a solution.
My problem was, "How am I going to share my children's book, Moments to Savor with the world?
I closed my eyes and pictured this issue. I saw my children's book manuscript in its current state - a file on my computer - neatly centered, double spaced, in Times New Roman 12 point font - just sitting there in a folder filled with 77 other documents.
Then I envisioned my solution and saw a hard copy, folded neatly together with a letter, in an addressed envelope, stamped and ready to be taken to the post office. The picture in my mind evolved and I began to see an image of the cover of my book - and while the image on the cover was hazy (but colorful) the font (a very fun swirly font) and words were clear..."Moments to Savor by Kim Dettmer". Milliseconds later, I imagined myself reading this book, both to my boys, and to a classroom filled with children.
Unexpectedly a huge grin spread across my face and a warmth filled my heart. The picture in my mind was so clear that it felt like I could step into it and actually live in that moment!
So, in the spirit of a vision board, I decided to draw a snapshot of one of those images and hang it on my bulletin board and a regular visual reminder.
Honestly, I don't know.
But, what I do know is that, since drawing this picture and doing that exercise with Coach Joelle, six letters, with six manuscripts were folded neatly into addressed envelopes and taken to the post office and are currently headed to six editors.
What issue are you facing?
Why not envision your solution - and maybe even draw it?
No harm in doing that...right?
