When setting a formal table, there is often a grand and elaborate centerpiece. When creating a vision board, there should also be a grand centerpiece. That centerpiece should be YOU!
Yes, it is recommended by many, including Joyce Schwarz best-selling author of "The Vision Board: The Secret to an Extraordinary Life", to include a picture of yourself in the center of your vision board.
You should include the picture of yourself on your board to be a reminder that you are the co-creator of your life. YOU are center to the vision of your life. You are the “star” of the movie and the one who must take action in your life.
Yes, some would say that the Universe will manifest your vision board. However, if the Universe opens the door for your vision, you must be the one to walk through the open door.
When choosing the picture of yourself, make it a positive one. Choose a picture that you like and that reflects a happy time in your life.
For example, it can be a childhood image laughing and playing at the park or a birthday party surrounded by friends and family. These would be especially appropriate if they reflected items you were visioning for now -- peace, playfullness, freedom, family, love, etc.
Another approach that is very common is to take a new picture -- one that reflects what you want in the future. It is a common story of people who go to a car dealership and have a picture taken in their "dream car."
With technology, you can also "photo shop" a picture of yourself standing in front of your dream home or on your dream vacation.
However you choose, it is important to picture yourself in your vision. Without you....it is not your vision.

Eat Your Weeds -- Milk Thistle Benefits
Although the gardener and lawnworker would be unhappy to see this plant sprout, the herbalist knows better! The milk thistle, when full grown, is a splendid plant. It can grow several feet tall and top off with a colorful purple-pink pompom-like bloom. However, its beauty is best observed carefully, as the stem and leaves are covered with sharp, prickly thorns. Despite these thorny annoyances, the milk thistle offers a wide range of benefits. The stem can be peeled to remove the spiny points and then eaten like celery. The leaves can be steamed like spinach.
