My Thoughts: Throughout the book the Vision boxes are called mojo boxes, shrine containers and Montano himself refers to them as "Dream boxes. These boxes are collections of special moments in a persons life and the directions given throughout the book are very easy to follow. They make great momentos for travels, special moments, special things. I loved the book. The pictures are so inspiring and I could hardly wait to complete my first one.
