It always seems to happen like this \u2013 one action sparks another and another and then another. In this case it was the creation of my Vision Board <\/a>that seemed to be the catalyst for a sudden surge of A-ha\u2019s that came fast and furiously.<\/p>\n

Thoughts and ideas were bubbling to the surface at such an alarming rate that I had to keep a pen and paper attached to me if I hoped to capture (ok<\/em>…..remember<\/em>) any of them. One of the ‘flashes’ was to extend the Vision Board concept and create a personal manifesto. As much as I liked the idea I filed it away for another time.<\/p>\n

A week later my husband and I were in an eclectic garden shop in Seattle and saw the piece above.\u00a0 In unison we shouted, \u201cI like that<\/strong>“.<\/em>\u00a0We looked at each other and laughed.\u00a0 It was \u00a0 perfect for us \u00a0and the – We do loud really well – eerily spot on! I\u2019d come to the conclusion we were indeed, The Loud Family, more than 22 years ago when Kelly was a toddler!<\/p>\n

With no choice but to buy, we happily brought it home and hung it up. \u201cThis is the manifesto of our house!\u201d<\/em> I announce. We smile and nod, pleased we\u2019d found something that so clearly articulated what we and our home stood for.<\/p>\n

Which brought \u00a0me back to the personal manifesto idea….the sparks started to fly.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d always loved the lululemon manifesto<\/a>….. I goggled it to refresh my memory.<\/p>\n

The process of writing my personal manifesto could be an anchor to my Vision Board. This time I decided to Act.<\/p>\n

I’ve started to write my manifesto (principles that guide my life and a declaration of all I believe to be true). I\u2019m not sure where it will take me but if it\u2019s anything like creating a Vision Board it\u2019s bound to be exciting, thought provoking and deeply insightful.<\/p>\n

I’m expecting the process to take a few weeks as my thoughts clarify and go deeper…..here’s what I’ve go so far:<\/p>\n

My Personal Manifesto for Life<\/h2>\n
