Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving is the US holiday that we celebrate as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest of the preceding year. I define my personal harvest as everything that has come into my life that not only has enriched me, but also things that have thought me a lesson...and I had a plethora of both this year.

I want to thank my family for their love, support and their understanding as I continue to grow the Percy Sales Events brand. To my friends for the encouragement to do what I love to do. To my clients for trusting me to handle one of the most important days of their lives. To my colleagues for continually challenging me to be my best and for your support and love as well. I've been truly enriched by your presence in my life.

This year I've learned, as I do every year, who I am as a person, who I am as a wedding planner and event designer, who I am as a business owner. You never really stop learning about yourself, your abilities and your limitations. I guess if you stop learning you stop growing - and that would be kind of boring now that I think about it.

My one take away this year is to always trust my gut, to trust myself on things, people and situations...and I implore all of you to do it too. It's interesting how I've second guessed myself this year on something or someone,  only to be disappointed or added unnecessary stress in my life. Whereas...if I stuck with my original gut feeling it would have been so much more better. So...I vow to trust my "big" gut and to stop second guessing myself moving forward (I know easier said than done).

I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy reflecting on your own harvest for the year and give thanks to the many blessings that you have been given (even if you don't think there has been any - there are some jewels there when things become clear). LOVE with all your heart, LIVE life in the present, BELIEVE in yourself, and BE THANKFUL!

Let's Celebrate!

New Blog Name and Re-Inspired for 2015!

As 2014 comes to a close, I want to thank the wonderful clients that Percy Sales Events was able to get down the aisle and help with their "I Do's" this past year.  We've had some awesome clients and each of their wedding was as diverse as our couples (as it should be)...and we can't thank them enough for being the inspiration.

Moving into 2015 we are looking forward to another year of epic celebrations! Percy Sales Events will also be adding some new things to our product offerings for our potential clients as well. We are excited to be ramping up our International Destination Wedding division as well as our new Elopement division for our company. Additionally, we are going to be creating some awesome "Signature Packages" with our fabulous vendor partners for select properties throughout California, Mexico and Hawaii. Stayed tuned for more information about this in coming weeks.

As far as blogging...I am resolving to do more of it this year! I am coming up with a blogging plan, not only as an outlet to write...but a way to inspire couples in their wedding planning process as well. I love blogging tremendously...but between family, planning weddings and life itself, I have not found the time to actually sit down and write. I am promising myself and those who follow me a renewed blogged that will be personal, meaningful and inspirational (well as inspirational as I can get).

Also for those following me - I am once again changing the name of my blog. I originally had PeaceLoveWed as my blog name but have given the name to my husband who has started his own wedding officiating business. I thought it was more appropriate name for his business anyway. So now my blog's new name is Celebrate, simple and to the point, as this is exactly what I love to do...CELEBRATE love and life!

Looking forward to connecting with you all in 2015! Thank you!

Let's Celebrate!
