So I make a more organic board with my friends and then, after they leave, I create a second vision board using the pictures that I want.

My more spiritual friends say that this is cheating and that a proper vision board is one where you are open to the images that come up. Before my friends arrive, I secretly search for pictures of the actors who I imagine will star in my movie. I like to get together with my girlfriends and create vision boards.

To create a vision board, you take a piece of Bristol board or poster board and you flip through magazines and when you feel drawn to a certain word or image, you cut it out and glue it onto the board. I have always been a firm believer in vision boards. I believe that four and five are on the way. Goal # 5 – My first three goals are complete. There is something about having a tangible reminder of your goals that makes it all so much more real. They are perched proudly on a ledge in the closet as a symbol of the day that I will wear them on Ellen. Goal # 4 - I have not been on Ellen DeGeneres’ show yet, but I have the shoes! They are colourful and fun and the heels look like chocolate/strawberry/vanilla ice cream cones. I knew that I wanted to find a publisher who connected with my story and would publish my book. Goal # 3 - I wasn't going to self-publish.

Goal # 2 - I wrote a book about the journey from divorced basketcase to IRONMAN. Goal # 1 - An Ironman is a triathlon which includes a 3.8k swim, a 180k bike and a 42.2k marathon run that you must complete within 17 hours in order to be called an Ironman.
