Mind-Mapping

Well, I at least bought the whiteboard ($12/sheet at Lowe's) and the dry erase markers. Now to get into the full exploration and documentation of the ideas in my head. This download will be so helpful as it will free up more creative energy and also help me to see my next steps...

The more I talk about this to people, the more everyone else seems to "see" my vision, the more excited I get. Problem is, I love the dreaming and envisioning; get energized by the connections and networking; enjoy the putting together of the details...When will I get to the point of actually asking for and receiving the funds to purchase the building and truly build my dream?

If I think about the first time I saw Jana Napoli on Discovery Channel years ago and heard about her Young Adults, Young Artists program, it's been over 7 years ago! Painted Chairs (my name for the youth development through arts program--more on that later) was put on the back burner then until we left to go on sabbatical in Australia in 2004. Then I returned and got right on helping someone else build their dream which became Field of Plenty.

Is it my turn now?

Anyone out there willing to share how they've actually manifested the physical reality of a long-term dream?
