So often we speed through life not thinking about our daily happenings only to realize a week, a month, and even years have passed before we notice how much time we’ve lost without living life passionately.

I know some of you have probably seen this short blurb not too long ago, but I found this appropriate to extend upon for my first entry.

So for some time now I’ve been slowly (and by slow I mean slow as a snail) trying to pursue a career that I realized I am not only passionate about but would be great at!  Yes, I am confident in myself and my abilities haha Most of the people in my immediate life know what that is but for those who don’t I have been ever so slowly pursuing a career in the event planning industry.  And I’ve been very good at keeping quiet about it.  For a while now I have been able to get my foot in the door but I am nowhere near where I want to be.  Why?  Well simply because of fear.  Even though I am fortunate to have found something I love doing and wouldn’t mind waking up every day to do fear has kept me from pursuing things further and being more proactive.

For some time now I’ve been very fortunate to work with a wonderful wedding planner, Kelly Duprat.  From day one she’s taught me so much and given me a wonderful opportunity.  I’ve definitely learned so much from her and can’t thank her enough.  She is actually one of many people who have told me to blog or encouraged me to want to blog.  For that and so much more I am very grateful.  I ❤ my KDWP family and every experience with them!!

Although public blogging has been around for over a decade it has always been a private matter for me.  It’s always been nothing more than a one-way conversation between just me and my computer.  I’ve always been a very passionate and vocal person.  Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not afraid to talk and might I say I am very good at it.  However, voicing my thoughts and emotions over an electronic, public medium has always been somewhat of a scary thing for me.  It’s not because I am afraid of what people will think or say (because frankly I’m not one to dwell on what others think), but for the reason of success or lack thereof.  The thought of “What if no one reads it?” or “What if they do but never come back again?” or “What if my words never resonate with anyone?” has always crossed my wandering mind preventing me from really putting myself out there.  But now, after creating a short post on Instagram and for so long being afraid to pursue a career that I know I would excel in, but have somewhat stunted my own growth subconsciously, I guess you can say I am now ready to put myself on display for the rest of the world wide web.  (Wow that was one long sentence! Haha)  I don’t want to one day realize how much more time has passed without giving everything my all.  And this blog, well this blog is just the beginning.

I know it’s not the most conventional “event planning” blog, but I guess you could say I’m not the most conventional person.  So with that said I hope you’ll continue to follow my life, my events, and my journey to never living another day without filling it with passion.
