I've been tagged again by Stacey of Affairs to Remember to participate in the dot, dot, dot post. I've been meaning to do this post for some time since I first saw it a month or so ago, so now I have an excuse.
I've decided not to tag anyone else...but here goes.
I AM… stronger than I care to believe at times.
I WANT…to be an inspiration to many.
I HAVE…more good days than bad.
I KEEP…an optimistic outlook on life
I WISH I COULD… take some time to slow down
I HATE…being lied to.
I FEAR…no man.
I HEAR…music in my head
I DON'T THINK…people realize the magnitude of their effect on others
I REGRET…very little. I’ve learned to be true to YOURSELF first and life’s path becomes very clear
I LOVE…the sound of my son breathing in his sleep
I AM NOT…afraid to pursue my dreams
I DANCE…to the beat of my own drum. It's more a two-step with a twist.
I SING…every chance I get. Not well. Just often.
I NEVER…take for granted that I will be here tomorrow and say I love you to the people that matter the most.
I RARELY…lose touch.
I CRY WHEN I WATCH…most movies. Romance. Comedy. Cartoon. I'm a total sap.
I AM NOT ALWAYS… right. I’d love to think I am though.
I HATE THAT…pride often outweighs logic
I'M CONFUSED ABOUT… the state of the world. The level of poverty and the hopelessness of many.
I NEED…to lose 12 lbs by December
I SHOULD…pray more.

Whose Wedding Is it Anyway?
The new season of the hit show "Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?" aired on the Style Network this past Tuesday October 7th. As I waited in anticipation (I'm sooo over reruns these days), I must say, I was a bit dissapointed at the premiere.
Although the weddings featured were big budget and "pretty", is it me or did the overall feeling leave something to be desired?
I must say, I am looking forward to seeing some "old favorites" this season and hope that as time progresses the show moves back to its roots of HIGHLIGHTING the Wedding Coordinator's role in creating a FABULOUS day for their couples. After all, that is our job is it not?
Ugh, reality tv. Love to hate it.
So, what did you all think?

Bridal Canvas
As a Coordinator, there's no better resource for helping my Clients envision the day of their dreams than a storyboard. Storyboards pull together all the individual wedding elements (decor, attire, theme) into one location and provide a visual of how all of the individual pieces will ultimately look as a collective.
Anyone who has ever attempted to create a storyboard (also known as an inspiration board) knows that as beautiful as they are, they can be a nightmare to compile. Until now. Ladies and gentlemen...Bridal canvas
Bridal canvas is the latest solution to storyboards offering couples the option to pick from preloaded elements and real wedding images or upload from their own images to create their "bridal inspiration canvas". The best part, the templates are so easy to use and share with your bridal party members, vendors or other brides!
Imagine...envision, click and create. SWEET!
PS. For a sample inspiration board (although not created with Bridal Canvas), check out the FABULOUS chocolate and pink board posted on the Affairs with Elegance blog today.

Tag, I'm it!
I was tagged by my colleague and good friend Lakendra Kennedy of Affairs with Elegance. Nothing like a game of blog tag to get the week off to a good start! Here goes:
Four things I did today:
1. Spoke with Max & Me Catering regarding menu planning for our 9/26/09 couple.
2. Finalized 30 handwritten thank you notes to vendors for my last few weddings (better late than never right?)
3. Treated myself to a Grande non-fat light whip hot chocolate from Starbucks. I love Starbucks. Every time I'm in there I'm amused at the ordering process. If you listen closely, it always sounds like a bunch of complex physics equations being spewed over the counter.
4. Exchanged emails with a past client from 2 years ago. My how time flies!
Four things on my to-do list:
1. Order the linen sample for the "Touches" design consultation scheduled for this Saturday.
2. Finish the 25 other vendor thank you cards that need to be handwritten
3. Finalize a venue for an upcoming project I'm working on (More details to follow shortly)
4. Prepare for our initial consultation this evening
Four of my guiltiest pleasures:
1. Jeans. It's an obsession. I own over 200 pair.
2. Reality TV
3. Blog surfing
4. My son. Even at 16 months he's already turning away from all of the "kisses" mommy likes to share.
Four random facts about me:
1. I have a phobia of deer. I'm not quite sure what started it but Bambi is not my friend.
2. I love to travel
3. I've purchased 4 cars in the last 2 years
4. I haven't been to a wedding as a GUEST in over a year.
Now I have to tag four other people:
Kelly McWilliams of Weddings by Socialites
Andria Lewis of Andria Lewis Events
Shayna of Williamsburg Wedding Design
Leslie of Leslie-Manning Events
You're up!
