Vision for the future 2019 - 2022

It started with a vision board.


I was asked to think about the things I enjoy, new hobbies I would like to learn about, what I would like in the future.




  1. Cut out pictures or words from magazines and make them into a visual poster to look at to remind me what my future self would like to do, what would I see, how would I be living.

My thought behind the selected pictures to summarise my ideas.

Look towards retirement where I would like to live and what I would like to do.

Travel and discover new places.

Countryside and nature.

Learn more about photography and how to capture moments.

How to write fancy like calligraphy or other styles.

Spa days or relaxing therapies.

A new career I no longer wanted to be in the corporate world

something was missing.



The main message of hope I gained from the session.


"I am a butterfly changing my life it's not over"


Now is the time to start making changes not when I am retired.








A time to reflect on the vision I had 3 years ago and how far I have come.
