With so many negative things going on these days, I thought it might brighten things up to think about some of the wonderful things I get to experience each day. I am surrounded by family and friends that I love dearly. I have an amazing husband and we are celebrating our one-year anniversary on the January 25th! I can’t believe it has already been a year. Time really does fly when you are having fun.
I always keep myself busy, but I am pretty sure my brain would implode if I stopped. Besides, why would I stop doing something I loved so much? I have wonderful clients and get to work with some of the most fabulous people I could have ever imagined. Through the last few years, thanks to my job, I have met some really great people who I now like to call friends. How can you have a bad day when you are constantly surrounded by happy and so-in-love couples and professionals who have an amazing passion for what they do?
When a client calls me and says that they want to share their special day with me, I am honestly excited! Not because of the potential business, but because I genuinely love what I do. All of the hard work, the blood, the sweat and the tears are paid of greatly when I see the newlyweds after they take that walk back down the aisle towards me. Don’t get me wrong, life is filled with very long days! Some days I don’t get a chance to see my husband at all. Some days I get so frustrated I can’t see straight! Sometimes I wake up at 5am and don’t get to bed until after 4am, or days that I can’t fall asleep because I am thinking of items on my to-do list. The light always comes when a couple can finally take a deep breath and say “This is exactly what we wanted!” or “Things couldn’t have been any better!”. I love the smile on a bride’s face when she sees that all of the hard work (and money!) has really paid off, or when she can finally say “We have a videographer!”. After all, the little things matter, too. Let’s not forget the look on a groom’s face when he sees that his bride’s dreams really came true. It is all amazing and the hard work and long days always pay off. I think the key to success is this business is to not let your inhibitions hold you back, thoroughly enjoy every second of what you do and always remember that you will get whatever you put into it. I couldn’t be happier than I am today!
This time of year always has me thinking about all that I have gone through and wondering what is coming next. I am really looking forward to so many events in the coming months. This year is going to be amazing and I am ready for any twists that the road may throw my way. I am looking forward to meeting new people, getting to know my new clients, seeing old friends and family and taking Bliss Weddings (my baby!) as far as I can. The networking group, MWEP, that I started late last year is really taking off, too! We are having our second official meeting next month and it is sure to be a great one. I am excited every day when I see a new email asking to get involved.
I think I have covered it all, and I am glad I started this personal blog to share it all! Thanks for spending your time reading this. 🙂
