Sometime in late 2019 or early 2020 I made this vision book. My co-plant parent and unique relation @nattymillz and I were all about the power of vision boards. I learned about them from my mom and forever stand by them as medicine for finding ground, seeking clarity or inspiration.

I still love and hold this vision. It’s fun to look back and see what’s manifested since then in ways beyond what I intended.

For instance’”understanding and working with scars” is something I pasted on page 6. Now I find myself seeking continuing Ed. In scar tissue mobilization after top surgery & mastectomies!

Hopefully this sparks some creative play in you or perhaps may lead to connection in our work!

Excited to make a new one soon and would love to see some of what you create!

All images are collaged
Slide 1: front over, titled “faith in her vision”(though I’d change her to their;-) ) above a curvy figure reaching into space with an olive on the left and jojoba nuts on the right. Smiley faces alongside the body down to the roots and yellow leaves the figure grows out of

Slide 2: two ducks chest to chest text reads “body autonomy and agency for the benefit of all”

Slide 3: words say “recollecting,” “homage to the extinct,” “new visions beyond the realm of normal,” “take care of the birds,” “encourage the positives.” Images of a hummingbird and @malidoma_patrice_some At the bottom half an image of an extinction rebellion pink boat reads “tell”

Slide 4: at the bottom, other half of extinction rebellion boat reads “the truth” with person speaking into mic on top. Other words from bottom to top: “super sound quality true base tone,” “access to reproductive healthcare,” “connect linking the massage community.” Images include pack of bulls and a child jumping off a rock wall

Slide 5 (my fav): Titled “divine”
Image of happy friends & family in the kitchen cooking. Reads “everyone in the family has to be involved. Your mom, your abuela and your tías…they all get together, sitting in the kitchen or outside, having a conversation and making tamales.” Bottom of page says “queer people do for souls”
