I was doing some research for a profile I'm writing about Barbara and Tripp Curtis for Marriage Partnership magazine when I ran across a beautiful story Barbara wrote about her son, who has Down syndrome.
The story, called, "A Little Extra," is a timeless slice-of-life vignette that I think you'll enjoy.
In addition to giving birth to a son with Down syndrome, Barbara and Tripp have adopted three sons, all of whom have Down syndrome. Their (adopted) sons are now 7, 11, and 12. Jonny, who Barbara writes about in "A Little Extra," is now 15 and heading into 9th grade this fall.Laura's book, The Adoption Network, has just been
released. Click

Welcome to the second part of the Vision Board Gallery. You can view yesterday’s gallery here.
Some of the women at the retreat chose to do Vision Books, not Vision Boards. That way they can continue to add images throughout the year. This is a handy alternative because it’s portable. (I wrote more about Vision Books in this post.)
Here are a few images of the Vision Books.

Here are a few more traditional Vision Boards…

One of the participants had come to a retreat two years ago. Her house had just burned to the ground, and she was not only dealing with grief, but she was rebuilding her life. She brought her vision board from that retreat just to see whether
So, I host these retreats for women four times a year. (You can read more about them here.) On the second afternoon of the retreat, each participant creates a Vision Board. If you aren’t sure what a Vision Board is, I’ve written two posts about them: Vision Boards: A Quick Story. And How to Make a Vision Board.
For today and tomorrow, I want to share several of the vision boards from last weekend’s retreat. (The retreat was amazing - on so many levels.) The Vision Boards are on full-size poster boards. Some people flew in from far away places like Arizona, Texas and New Zealand (!) and so they made their boards in composition books. Or they folded up the poster boards. I will display a few of those tomorrow!
Vision Boards are not about art. They are about joy and creativity. I’ve heard an occasional visual artist get snooty about the “lay-out” or the “composition” of a particular vision board. And I just want to say, &ldq
