* To change
The last few months has been full of change for me. Personally, I went from being single to a wife, which is an amazing experience of it's own. Professionally, POSH has grown to exceed my expectations. I have clients I adore, a team of strong, intelligent supportive women who work along side me in this journey, and industry peers who fuel my creativity and drive.
I'm blessed.
Late last year I accepted a Board position for Wish Upon a Wedding Philadelphia Chapter, the world's first wish granting organization providing weddings and vow renewals for couples facing terminal illness and serious life-altering circumstances, regardless of sexual orientation . Most recently, I became the Co-Director for the Association of Bridal Consultants South Jersey Local Networking Group.
It wasn't until earlier this week that I sat down and really reflected on how far this dream of mine has grown. The Association of Bridal Consultants is where I started my career. When I joined many years ago, I was a novice, new to the world of weddings and eager to learn. I met an experienced planner in Northern New Jersey who allowed me to shadow her to gain real world experience...and the rest, well, as they say is history.
Beyond blessed.
Over the next month we will be undergoing monumental changes over at POSH that I am so excited to share!
Until then, I'll leave you with this. Dream bigger than you ever could. When you get to that point, exceed it.

Speaking to the Southern NJ ABC Local Networking Group April 26, 2011
I'm so honored to be asked to speak at the Southern NJ Association of Bridal Consultants Local Networking Group meeting later this month.
The Association of Bridal Consultants is actually where my career first started. While attending wedding planning courses at Temple University Ft Washington Campuses, (Can we say career student?!), I first learned of the Association and attended my first local conference. During the conference, I met a Wedding Planner from Northern NJ who so graciously allowed me to shadow her at her events, and the rest well...is history.
I've been extremely honored to speak at conferences before, but this particular group is very near and dear to me. Every new client that we receive, every colleague along the way, every vendor referral, I'm thankful for all of it and acknowledge that we are only as strong as our support system. Many great relationships were formed out of networking through this organization.
I'm looking forward to sharing my experiences with a group of my peers, giving insight to the "POSH" experience and learning along the way.
In the area? Be sure to attend this event for Planners Only!!!! Contact Pat Ambrosius at thepragmaticplanner@comcast.net for registration information and be sure to drop me a line and let me know you'll be there.
