Gratituesday 6.21.22 - In the Know
I am a very curious person, and in my youth I needed to know EVERYTHING. As I’ve matured, I’ve realized that no, I really don’t. So now it’s a balance…deciding when it’s important to have and share information, and when it’s not.
Vendors I Love: BRI JOHNSON WEDDINGS
I met Bri a few months ago when one of her couples traveling from Germany was looking for an officiant. Bri was just so warm and thoughtful. She guided the couple and made them feel comfortable and special. Without further ado, I’m beyond excited to shine a little light onto BRI JOHNSON!
Desire Wednesday 5.25.22 - Work Smarter, Not Harder
Over the last few months I’ve read a four new books with my business book club. Quite a few of them have encouraged positive change and action. Truly all of this is an attempt to work smarter, not harder.
Gratituesday 5.3.22 - My Body, My Choice
There have been so many advancements made over the last few years. But with the impending overturn of Roe v. Wade, it feels like we’re going backwards. I’ve seen a lot of rage and disappointment today. It’s important to counter that with a bit of good. Care to join me in my weekly lists?
Emotional Intimacy in Your Relationship
In PM Counseling, I start the intimacy conversation talking about the EMOTIONAL side. Couples that desire a return of closeness or want to deepen their emotional intimacy, can do so by slowing down and dedicating time and energy to doing things together.
Vendors I Love: PETALS BY DANI
I met Dani attending a few WIPA meetings in New York. She was always so welcoming and friendly. However, once I started following her on Instagram, I saw how amazing talented she is. Dani’s strong sense of color and design were apparent in all of her work. Without further ado, I am excited to give some well-deserved attention to Dani Chou of PETALS BY DANI!
Gratituesday 4.5.22 - Behind Schedule
I am not really sure where the day has gone. I felt behind most of the day, and had the feeling of playing catch up. It was important for me to reflect and create my weekly lists. A bit of gratitude, celebration and desires for the future. Care to join me? The comment section is always open to question, encourage or share your OWN list. Let’s go!

Gratituesday 2.22.22 - Connection & Numbers
When I saw TWO 2 heavy dates in Februay, I thought the inquiries for wedding would just flow in. For the most part things were quiet. Until 2 weeks ago when one of my 2020 couples resurfaced. The 2020 bride was into numerology and wanted to see if I was available on 2/22/22. Sure am, I said!
Guest Post: The Case for Embracing Self-Care
My life was missing a key leavening agent since the start of COVID. I’d been living devoid of FUN, especially during the cold weather. As a recovering Type-A personality who loves being outdoors in warm weather, it was often easier to just work through winter. So, I decided to purposefully dedicate myself to HAVE MORE FUN in 2022, especially right away.
Gratituesday 2.15.22 - Return to Celebration
My weekly lists used to be gratitudes, celebrations and desires. Then for some reason, I changed the celebrations to VICTORIES. For the life of me I didn’t remember why I did it, but today I bring it back. This of course brings lots of reflection, and then my Weekly Lists basically write themselves. Care to join me?

Vendors I Love: PLUME and FLOURISH
I first met Caroline at the Whitney Museum. We worked on events together, but I had no idea that she was so talented in calligraphy. I saw her place cards first hand, and then I just started stalking on social media. Without further ado, let’s shine some well deserved light onto Caroline David from PLUME & FLOURISH!
Victory Thursday 1.20.22 - Inspiration
Winter is hard for many people. At least for me, I lack inspiration. In yesterday’s book club meeting on Zoom, we were asked to change our displayed names and include our inspiration level from 1 to 10. I rated myself a 7. I am getting things done, but I am not hugely inspired.
Gratituesday 1.4.22 - Isolation
It feels like everyone has covid right now. Okay, not everyone, but if I was a betting woman, I’d put money on the fact that everyone I know knows at least 1 person with covid right now. I personally know 3. That means that people are quarantining and/or in isolation. And isolation is so damaging as we as a society crave socialization.
Vendors I Love: JOSIE MICHELLE EVENTS
I met Michelle Peralta at an industry event in 2019. I love that she and her team are not only super calm and organized, but they are all about supporting others and are total team players. Without further ado, I am so excited to shine some very well deserved attention onto JOSIE MICHELLE EVENTS.
Desire Wednesday 12.15.21 - Deepening Connection
I think many of us have been in this weird limbo for a while now. Staying to ourselves and not deepening relationships. I avoid stepping out of my little bubble and maybe I use the ‘covid excuse’ a little too much. So, 2022 will be the year of Deepening Connection. Perhaps meeting new people, and of course, reconnecting with folks I already know - EVERY DAY.
