My Job Was My Purpose

Call me a workaholic but I'm really missing my job this weekend! After 5 years in the wedding industry I've grown to love perfecting all of the little details on a wedding day. It has become so fulfilling to host a flawless wedding for my brides. It's more than just a work day, for them it's a day they will cherish, a day that creates memories that will be displayed on the wall for years. I am soooo blessed to witness the magic that happens during a celebration of love. 

I miss the preplanning when I get to create excitement for the bride when envisioning her big day. I miss meeting the family and interacting with the bridal party and flower girls during rehearsal. I miss working closely with my team as we set up while laughing and listening to music. I miss that intimate moment where the bride & groom have their first look!! (My favorite!!) I oddly miss that pain in my fingers after pinning 15 boutonnieres before the ceremony. I miss the nervousness that everyone feels before they walk down the aisle and then the feeling of achievement when bride/groom is standing at the alter and I get to relax for 15 minutes. I miss the people-watching while everyone is dancing and me dancing on the sidelines because my song just came on lol! 

I miss becoming a part of the wedding family where everyone knows me by the end. AND most of all I miss the grateful hugs & positive feedback from the bride and parents at the end of the night to tell me what a great job I did!! This is why my job is my passion, it has become a part of my purpose too and that's to share and celebrate LOVE! What a beautiful way of making a living.

BOLD, Be~YOU~tiful, and Perfect

I had the honor of being chosen as one of the women included in the Bold, Beautiful, Perfect blog series. This shoot represents a time in my life where I owned my self-worth and started to become my true authentic self without excuses. A bit of what I shared in the blog... "I used to struggle to see my beauty from comparing to others and not feeling like I was enough. I've had issues with self-worth and seeking validation from external sources instead of going within to see my inner beauty. I've allowed others to make me feel small and use to let fear control me instead of standing tall & strong.  Now I hold my head up proudly and feel comfortable in my skin. I am unapologetic about my confidence and stand firm in who I am. I challenge myself to share my personality through social posts and am growing into the person I've always wanted to be. Now, I’m my own best friend, cheerleader, motivational coach, and spiritual guide. I walk this journey with more certainty

Guitarist at Heart

My Heart Knew I Was a Guitarist I've always felt a connection to guitar music. Acoustic has a way of making me melt! There's something about an acoustic song that creates a moment where I pay close attention, my ears perk up, I tune into the elegant string vibrations as if it speaks to something inside of my soul. A softness comes over my heart when listening to the sweet harmonies. My body starts to sway to the rhythm and in that instant I feel aligned. I'm still so impressed with the immediate impact that a lovely strum of a guitar has on my energy. It's a beautiful thing when I connect to it.  Blues music touches my soul in a different way. It's a soulful jazzy umph that contains a gravitational grit. It's a tantalizing sound that brings a sassy rhythm to my shoulders, and makes me want to get up and dance with my eyes closed. It almost puts me into a trance and brings me back to my New Orleans city high. It's no wonder why BB King was my very first conce
