Vision Board

I have decided to create a vision board for our family. I encourage you to create one for your family or yourself as well. Everyone has dreams or an idea of what they want their future to look like. A vision board is supposed to be a way of capturing your dreams, goals, or the desires of your heart into a snapshot and placing them on a board. 

 A vision board can be made on a poster board, a cork board, or a computer screen are some suggestions. Pictures from magazines of the home the dream home that you want to live in. Stock images from the internet. Printed words of the things you want to get better at…growing closer to God, getting a better job, getting a Play Station 5, again it’s your vision board, you can put whatever you want on it. 

It can be for the year, or your lifetime goals. It’s your board so you get to choose. Prayer and visualizing what you want, along with a little elbow grease, are how you achieve your dreams. The good thing about creating one each year is that you get to look back through your visions over the years and see what the goodness of God has done for your life. 

I have learned that having goals is important in life. It gives you something to focus on and gives you a sense of accomplishment when you reach them. You’ll find yourself doing things that will align your path with your goals as you glance at your board. Which is the next thing, you should put it in a place where you can see it. Being able to see it helps with visualizing your goals and reminds you of what you want to accomplish. If you design your vision board on your computer, then have it as a screensaver on your computer or the background image. 


What you will find is that God’s blessings are all over your life, as the things you pray for and then put on your board manifest themselves in your life. The board will serve as a reminder of the goodness of the Lord. The requests that you make may even sound impossible to you given where you are currently at in life, they might be crazy to others, but all things are possible through Jesus Christ who strengthens us. Never forget that. 

Some of the things I want to focus on for our family is building our organization and having it help or empower at least five people in the family each year. Grow closer to God. Improve our secondary business. With our new house, we have made a lot of changes, our goal for debt reduction is still in play. I would also like to see all of my kids with degrees, and settled with jobs. These are only some of the goals that we have for our family. I hope you select goals for yourself or your family.

Baby Step 2a: The reason your debt snowball isn't working part 1

Image
 You’re not budgeting You’re not 100% focused on your lowest balance Your income and expenses are remaining the same Your spouse isn’t on board You aren’t consistent You aren’t tracking your progress This is the step that I struggle with. The Debt Snowball. It would be easier to pretend like I didn’t have issues with this, but I am not. Most wounds don’t heal unless exposed. After Renardo and I remarried, we began budgeting, saving, and hustling for our dream…owning a home. We managed to obtain our dream only to slide back into old habits. After obtaining our home, we generated more debt. We recently bought a new house, a new car, among other things. We were sensible in our purchases, and can afford everything we bought, but we did not go in the direction that was most beneficial to us. Debt reduction. A lot of the pointers that Dave Ramsey espouses, we did not follow. So, I know the struggle is real. Step 2 is the step that I struggle with. One of my goals is to one day overcome our h

Chauncey Turman - Career Biography part 1 of 2

Image
I am the son, and only child of Willie Dean (Edwards) Turman, and Eugene Coker; both of Selma, AL. I’ve only met my biological father a handful of times, but my mother married Henry Turman in 1976, he adopted me, and he raised me and loved me throughout the rest of his life. We lived in Detroit for a few years after that, but left east Detroit as the city began to rapidly deteriorate. The Detroit of my youth was a grand and beautiful place; I miss it. It was at the end of summer in 1978 that we made our way to the small, quiet farming community of Litchfield, Michigan, and that is when this city boy began to learn how to do many things working our small produce and pig farm. In preparing to write this bio about the various careers I’ve had, I instinctively fast forwarded to all the things I’ve done since graduating from Western Michigan University, but life has a way of sometimes leading you back across paths you’ve already walked, and I must admit, many of the skills I learned on
