A while ago I found mine and John's wish board. Probably about 8 years ago someone had advised us to cut out of magazines photographs that would symbolise our goals. We did it as a bit of fun. Mainly because that week John's Mum had given us a pile of her old magazines. I think in total we pinned about 20 pictures on our wish board. For example there was a photo of a student on their graduation day throwing their cap in the air. One of John's and my goals at the time was to further our education and graduate. It was really interesting looking at the board as we had achieved about half of them. The board was placed in the corner of our bedroom for years and as with all familiar things not really noticed. When we moved to Spain it was moved to the loft and totally forgotten about. I realise now, that even subconsciously we were aware of that board and I believe it did help us reach some important land marks in our life. Anyone have any old magazines?

Ha ha, we did that years ago for FHE and stuck laminated pages on our bedroom doors. We all chose five things and cut pics out to represent them, just like you. I've just run upstairs to have a look...and we've not done too badly! Especially considering we did it when Bekah must have been about 12 or so! We've certainly achieved some of it...we see them every day but don't notice!
LOL Must have been a craze of the time. My problem is I am not good at writing down my goals and ever looking at them ever again. I am much better with something visual. My Dad wrote to me recently encouraging me to make goals, guilt always seems to be the best impetus for me. :-)
