THE JOURNAL

Some time has passed since my last blog post.  Perhaps, even the biggest gap I’ve had in my 13 years of having a blog. The world has shifted so much since my last entry when I was fresh off a flight from San Diego.  It has shifted in a scary way, yet also in a […]

No, today does not feel like my average Monday despite all my efforts. I am still at my desk, responding to emails, editing weddings, and delivering happy mail to clients both near and far. That feels amazing. I am SO thankful that is a big part of what we do. I am still welcoming & booking […]
