it’s the end of q1 and my vision board is staring at me

This was the first year I started as someone in their thirties. So I made a big deal out of it, everything is a big deal when your age is this hefty. 2026 was going to be my year. My friends and I even had a little vision board party. Just pretty girls with dreams and what not.

I am sure we’re not the only ones, and whether you call yours a vision board or resolutions or annual to-do lists, I am keen to find out where we are on those things now that we are about a quarter way through the year.

I like to think I have been good at keeping up with my board. Without sharing too much, there was stuff on there around my health, my spirituality, money, school deliverables nton nton. I would share the board on here, but haaa, I am shy. Just trust that I have vision. Anyway, I prayed over that vision board because I didn’t do it for just doing it, I did it because I really wanted this year to mean something.

And it has, because I am exercising like I said I would, I am reading my bible sometimes, as I said I would, going to church, being more mindful of where my money goes, all things I said I would do.

But even as I write this, I feel my vision board staring at me because there’s a part in my board that talks about me exiting my bubble. My life currently is me and the three people I talk to daily. I have gotten very comfortable with the idea of having just myself to look out for. Yet there is this giant thing on my wall (which I wrote), which tells me to make new friends and meet more people and develop new hobbies.

That part of my board is untouched. My idea of fun is still binge watching one thing after another, in fact I am rushing through this blog to go and catch the season finale of Paradise. I still watch my phone ring sometimes because just text me, I still need weeks’ notice before leaving the house. But then I remember there’s a reason why 1 January me thought it was important for me to be more out there.

I could go to town about the ways that I have fed into my vision board and I am generally proud of it. But this one pesky thing that I put down unprovoked needs my attention too. So I suppose that’s the general tone for Q2. We are putting ourselves out there, whatever that means. If it works out, yay. If it doesn’t we keep it moving
