CD That's Me

And for reasons I can't fully explain, I've decided to challenge myself to do something creative just for me every week. Between planning events, managing clients, putting out fires, and keeping all the balls in the air, carving out time for creativity often ends up at the bottom of the list. So here we are.I have been thinking of my blog a lot lately and it feels like the perfect outlet, a place to share ideas, express thoughts, tell stories, and hopefully spark some conversations and collaborations along the way.

A lot has happened since my last post. And by "a lot," I mean there was a global pandemic and AI seems to be taking over the world. Beyond that, there have been countless events, amazing clients, memorable trips (bless!), unexpected adventures, and enough lessons learned to fill several books.

Professionally, my workload seems to have tripled. The funny thing is, I'm actually much pickier these days about the events and clients I take on. Experience has a way of teaching you what energizes you, what drains you, and where you can make the biggest impact.

Personally, there have been challenges too - some anticipated, some not. The kind that stretch you, humble you, and ultimately help you grow. While I wouldn't necessarily volunteer to repeat all of them, I can honestly say they've shaped who I am today.

One thing that has not changed - I am a planner. So my plan for this space is simple: each week (ish) I'll tackle topics that inspire me, challenge me, make me laugh, or keep me up at night. Expect stories from the event world, travel adventures, lessons learned, behind-the-scenes moments, business insights, personal reflections, and probably a few unexpected detours along the way.

Most importantly, I want this to be useful and interesting for you.

If you enjoy what you read, please share it with others. If you have suggestions, questions, or topics you'd like me to cover, I'd love to hear from you. Some of the best conversations start with a simple idea.

So, wish me luck. Here's to showing up, creating something new, and seeing where it leads.

See you next week.
