Oh the too may ideas thing! My everyday battle. It's like a fountain that never shuts off, and it can be really easy to get distracted. Even those action lists can be endless, if I can even find them in the seemingly self generating piles of ideas. Loving the people I am meeting through Leah. Isn't she awesome? Kathryn,

I discovered your blog via Leah at Creative Every Day on Twitter. This particular post echoes my own sentiments. Dreaming will only take you so far. It is important to take action, or at least steps for making it happen. In your previous post you raise a good point that our vision boards can be more a repeating of our same old stories. I use them as a reflection tool for discerning what I truly wish for. Once the collage is made I then make a list of action steps for the short, mid, and long term. The designer in me likes to take my found objects and piece them together like one puts together a puzzle. Often my final result looks as if the various pieces were meant to be together. I find the resulting collages so pleasing the hanging them up and reflecting on them is a pleasure and I'm inspired to take the next steps. What I find the greatest challenge is to keep up with all of my ideas. I'll be sure to bookmark your site. I like your perspective. k I’m really enjoying your posts.
