Happy New Year

I know, I know, it’s almost February but this year, I'm thinking New Year's Day is not going to be just that first day in January but view every day as a new day in the year. Maybe this way, we will strive to do the things we planned to do and not feel disheartened about not accomplishing our goals. 

2011 was a busy year, it was a “noisy” year too, and it was also the year where I reflected about many things after celebrating one of my big birthday milestones. 

I realized, I didn’t read enough, I didn’t write enough, my mind was constantly racing and I was trying to accomplish way too much in a short period of time while still giving 200% to my clients and my family. I need to slow down, take a deep breath and remember that I am only human. I need to take some time out for myself and do the things I enjoy doing. This is imperative in maintaining a well-balanced business and personal life. Hmmmm… I think I'm sounding like a life coach? 

 2012 started with a bang! A New Year’s Eve Wedding. We worked very hard, didn’t get home until 4:00 a.m.  After all is said and done, when your client is extremely happy and pleased with your work, that’s all that matters despite all the challenges it took to get the job done.  When you receive that fabulous testimonial, you feel an adrenaline-charged rush, a feeling that preps you for the next challenge. Isn’t that what we all strive to accomplish?

With that said, thank you to all my followers for your loyalty and staying in touch. 2012 is going to be a greater year! I’m excited about my upcoming projects as well as future collaborations with some fabulous people in the industry. So, stay tuned as we bring you up to speed and post many more fabulous articles and finds. 

Happy New Year again!
