Thanksgiving in July

When you hear "Christmas in July," it can only mean two things: a party with a winter/holiday theme or a great sale!

Whether it be in our business or private lives, it is very easy to get overwhelmed with our day-to-day activities and actually forget to be thankful. I am therefore celebrating "Thanksgiving in July" by listing reasons why I am thankful for my business and all those who support my endeavors in one way or another, especially my family, friends, fans, clients, and colleagues.

10 things I am thankful for:
1. My business: It makes a world of a difference to wake up everyday and go to a job I love and enjoy.
2. That I can set my own hours: Even though I may work very long hours, most evening, weekends and some seasons are busier than others, I have a flex schedule.
3. My fabulous vendors that repeatedly come through for me with every event.
4. My volunteers and IC's who stick by me regardless of the arduous hours.
5. The wonderful connections and business relationships I have developed along the way, of which many have become good friends.
6. The different places I have traveled to because of my business.
7. The technology enabling my office to be mobile.
8. Social Media: My Facebook fans, my Twitter Followers, my Blog Followers, and my LinkedIn Connections.
9. My wonderful family and friends whose love and support keep me going, especially during the most trying times.
10. And, lastly but certainly not the least, I thank God for affording me this wonderful life and opportunity.

Feel free to leave a quick comment with insights into what you're thankful for this July!

AAHF Recap

As you know from our previous post, the African American Heritage Festival kicked off its 9th Annual event June 18 -20th in Baltimore, Maryland. Programming enriched the community and visitors to the city of Baltimore over the three day event.

This year was the first for Events2Remember, Inc. to partner with the festival in providing the elegant décor for the exclusive VIP cabanas flanked on either side of the main stage.

What a treat to be able to experience the entertainment on the stage from such a comfortable and convenient location. We enjoyed musical performances by Robin Thicke, Donnie McClurkin, Fantasia, Patti Labelle, and many more. Definitely the best seats in the house! The festival offered a family friendly experience in celebrating the rich culture and history of African Americans.

Here's a quick snapshot of the cabanas. Check out our website for more exclusive, detailed photos, coming soon!

While we celebrated the historic contributions of African Americans, all visitors to the event enjoyed a unique cultural experience. We hope to partner with the festival again next year!
