Griffin said that one’s dream board can change once one accomplishes a dream or goal.ĭuring season, the shop will offer an array of workshops once a month. The other attendees and I just smiled as we browsed through the magazines, often helping each other find a particular photo. We were simply having a good time and learning about each other, chatting about our lives, work and exercising. “It opened my eyes about me.”ĭuren said she would definitely do a dream board again.ĭuren, similar to the other attendees, agreed that the family-owned business and the class is a gem in Southwest Florida.ĭuren said she enjoyed the small class, which allowed the group to learn about each other.ĭuring my recent visit, the class ran for more than three hours, but no one seemed to mind. “Now, all of a sudden, I’m walking alone.”ĭuren said creating a board gave her the opportunity to say a lot about herself and the things she wants to change. I’m walking a different road after 50 years,” she said. “I’ve had to learn to walk a different road. Not even her acquaintances know about her late husband. I gave myself permission to explore the things that I really want to welcome more of in my life.īarbara Duren, of Golden Gate Estates, enjoyed taking the class with two friends and business associates.ĭuren, 69, said the workshop enabled her to think about what’s going on in her life since often times she is too busy and does not have time to think about it.ĭuring the workshop, Duren shared with the group the passing of her husband, nearly two years ago. Toward the end of the workshop, I noticed that my board needed more on it, so I added several self-motivating phrases to fill my board.Ĭreating a dream board reminded me of when I was younger and created collages. I also selected pictures of dream house projects and much needed vacation spots. Many of the sayings that I added to my board had to do with love, family and appreciating moments in my life. I tacked nine quotes to my board, including “Be great in act as you have been in thought,” - William Shakespeare, “Live each moment to its fullest” and “Collect moments not things.” I carefully selected a few phrases that put a smile on my face, inspired me and encouraged me. Then I sorted through pictures, phrases, poems and quotes. ![]() I wasn’t too concerned about accidentally burning my fingers with the hot glue gun, which happened - not a big deal. Grabbing my corkboard, I glued three styles of pre-cut fabrics. The group started by decorating the edges of 2-foot by 3-foot corkboards with pre-cut fabrics. Griffin said dream boards are like a live Pinterest webpage. “The key to happiness is making your dreams come true.” “It really can make a difference,” said Griffin, who showed the class her colorful dream board. Inside the family-owned shop, Griffin, of Naples, helped four ladies, including myself, create our own handmade dream board on a recent Saturday. I recently ventured to a wonderful dream board workshop ($35), hosted by Kristen Griffin, at Green Street Boutique in Bonita Springs. It’s not every day that I have time to sit down for several hours and think about my dreams and desires.
