Old Dog New Tricks
I’m not sure by who or when the phrase was coined, you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. I am here to tell you that with the changes we as a people have made to embrace ease and convenience provided by technology, I think it would be fair to say that this statement does not apply across the board.

What does it really cost all in? These days, planning anything can be so challenging when it comes to managing a budget.

We need to look at alternative ways to create and punctuate this life-altering happening. Ironically, one of the ways to break up the traditional […]

I knew at the moment I had completed my first event that this was the beginning of my life’s work. The process of helping to create these impactful, shared moments has become my passion. There is an intangible energy that is created when people gather together and share in a common focus, these special moments […]

Whether it’s beaches, mountains or just simply your back yard, I encourage everybody to get out into nature and enjoy with […]
Create and Attend
So after what seems to be an eternity of tossing and turning, I finally succumb, my pillow has it in for me, and that perfect angle of alignment to provide some blissful sleep will not be granted. I shuffle my weary bones into the bathroom and in my sleep deprived state, I mistakenly turn on the […]
