In her Shoes is all about Vision - imagining yourself being the woman you want to be - becoming the Woman you Aspire to be. Lots of people are feeling lost, lonely or perished, not because they don't have money, or jobs, but because of lack of Vision.
Your Vision can be your Best Friend, Best Buddy, Inspiration and driving force to live life to it's full. I'd like to encourage you to start your Vision with a Vision Board. Yes! A Vision Board. You need to be able to see it, dream it, and then become it. If you can see it, then you can believe it, and begin to dream of it, and be inspired to do it.
Many years ago as a teenager, when I first read about the Proverbs 31 Woman, a verse struck me- it was " she considered a field, and she bought it with her own earnings". Since then I always had a dream to buy my own House. Every time I made a vision Board, buying a house was part of my long term plans. I didn't earn a lot, but each month I would make as much savings as I could, in preparation to buy my own place. Now something happened 2 years ago, an opportunity came by, and as I was already dreaming of this, with the help of the right people around me, I was able to buy my own Flat! Everyone thought I was nuts when i started to talk about buying a flat I found, but I knew it was something I always wanted to do, and so I gave it my all, and like a dream, I became a Home Owner- bought it in my name, out of my own earnings like I always dreamed of. 5 years ago, I had a Vision Board with Pictures which included Getting a job in a Bank, buying my own House, and starting a family. I made a picture collage which i used as my phone screen saver to always remind me of my vision. Today I can say all these boxes were ticked!
There is more that I want to be and there is more that we can all be, but it has to start with a Vision. Starting with a Vision Boards seems so simple, but it is so Powerful. Simply use your phone to make a collage of pictures of stages of things you want to do, or become; write down a time line on each picture and save it as a screen saver on your phone ( I know as ladies we love pictures, this can be fun and rewarding, and so simple to do too), or simply

make it practical and get an actual board, cut out pictures of things you'd like to achieve, places you'd like to go, or people that inspire you, and stick it up on your wall! Remember, if you can see it, then you can do it! A Vision Board provides you with physical pictures to focus on, which can help make a goal become a Reality. I shared my story, it works!
This March, today, let's make it a personal Project to Make a Vision Board, and dare to become the Women in whose Shoes we dream to walk.
Love Sue. xx
