Thank You!
Two weeks ago we shared, we laughed and read powerful testimonies.
All the treasure map collages we created are evidence of what high visions we have for ourselves and what wonderful women we really are.
Everyone who completed a map did a beautiful job. Some of us could hardly break away from the great conversation to complete our maps. We shared our visions and talked about the next steps for the group. The evening was great and after our meeting a few of us went to BBQ's where we had a few more laughs and went home with the buzz of those frozen margaritas.
We would like to thank everyone who attended the event. You each contributed so much. We hope that those who were unable to attend will look out for our email in August when we will send out the fall schedule packed with relevant events and workshops that we hope will empower you and bring your closer to your dreams.
In the next couple of months we are looking to develop the programming for Sistars Fall Calendar.
Our goal is to create opportunities to develop our own self-sufficiency and community (i.e.: Investment club, Monthly Sistars Gathering, Workshops, Speaker Series, etc).
We hope that those of you who are interested will join us in shaping the group.
Our planning and development meetings will be held on the following dates:
May 5 @ MaryMount 2:30 - 5:30 pm
June 9 2:30 5:30 - Location TBD - (Please let us know if you are interested in hosting a planning session or have an idea @ where it could be held.)
June 23 @ MaryMount 2:30 - 5:30 pm
We will not have any meetings scheduled for July and Aug - but plan to launch our calendar of events in September.
Thanks again for all of your support - we look forward to seeing you soon.
Also, please email us @ sistarsnyc@hotmail.com if you have any questions.

How to Create a Treasure Map/Vision Board
What is a Vision Board and or Treasure Map?
A vision board (also called a Treasure Map) a is typically a poster board on which you paste or collage images that you’ve remove or cut out from various magazines. It’s simple.
The idea behind this is that when you surround yourself with images of who you want to become, what you want to have, where you want to live, or where you want to vacation, your life changes to match those images and those desires.
Teasure Maps/Vision boards do the same thing as short term and long term goal planning. They add clarity to your desires, and feeling to your visions.
There are several methods you can use for creating your treasure map/vision board. You can choose which one works best for you, depending on where you find yourself on this path of creating your life.
Supplies you’ll need for creating a Treasure Map/Vision Board:
Poster board and or Brown Paper(Target/Staples sells a really nice matte finish board. We highly recommend it.)
- A big stack of different magazines. (You can get them at libraries, hair salons, dentist offices or your personal collection and you asked your friends or family members). Make sure you find lots of different types. If you limit your options, you’ll lose interest after a while. Recommended magazines bring plenty of...Oprah, Real Simple, Natural Home, Yoga Journal, Dwell, Better Homes and Gardens, Architecture Digest, The Economist, Parenting, Money, Black Enterprise, Ebony, Essence, Business Week, etc.
- Glue. Not Elmers. (It makes the pages ripple.) We recommend Glue or Rubber cement. Glue sticks are our second choice because they don’t last.
Before you begin your vision board:
A little ritual before you begin your vision board. Sit quietly and set the intent. With lots of kindness and openness, ask yourself what it is you want. Maybe one word will be the answer. Maybe images will come into your head. Just take a moment to be with that. This process makes it a deeper experience. It gives a chance for your ego to step aside just a little, so that you can more clearly create your vision.
Put on soft music. Our favorite music for activities like this is music that inspires your soul.
The Five Steps of Creating a Treasure Map/Vision Board:
Step 1: Go through your magazines and cut or remove the images from them. No gluing yet! Just let yourself have lots of fun looking through magazines and pulling out pictures or words or headlines that inspire you. Have fun with it. Seperate the pictures images and phrases and words.
Step 2: Go through the images and begin to lay your favorites on the board. Eliminate any images that no longer feel right. This step is where your intuition comes in. As you lay the pictures on the board, you’ll get a sense how the board should be laid out. For instance, you might assign a theme to each corner of the board. Health, Job, Spirituality, Relationships, for instance. Or it may just be that the images want to go all over the place. Or you might want to fold the board into a book that tells a story.
Step 3: Glue everything onto the board. Add writing if you want. You can paint on it, or write words with markers.
Step 4: (optional, but powerful) Leave space in the very center of the treasure map/vision board for a fantastic photo of yourself where you look radiant and happy. Paste yourself in the center of your board.
Step 5: Hang your vision board in a place where you will see it often.

Until, we meet again peace and one love.
