Share Your Wisdom

This blog is dedicated to acquiring tips and tricks from REAL WOMEN that have become experts in making the events of their lives extraordinary. This wisdom will be shared in the event-planning book I am writing called "Your Life and Times."

You're an event planner and probably don't even realize it! Did you ever direct your high school play or organize a school dance; plan a baby shower for your college roommate; volunteer to host the 3rd grade class Valentine's Day party; have a birthday party for your kids; organize a fundraiser for a sick friend; plan a company golf outing; serve as a scout leader or a Sunday School teacher; host a block party for the neighborhood; plan your parent's 50th wedding anniversary? If so, your experiences and your voice is what will make this book useful, unique and best of all fun to read.

Time-savers, planning tips, favorite websites, funny stories, or how you averted disaster on a special day - anything goes! But please only post what you are willing to share with the world - it could end up in the book!

The Greatest Failure is the Failure to Try

I saw The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel last weekend, and I really enjoyed it. It's the story of a band of misfit senior citizens, strangers who find themselves thrown together in a place far removed from everything comfortable and familiar, bound by a common quest to find a place to belong and feel wanted again.   I especially connected with Judi Dench's character, a widow who walked through her fear and embraced the challenges she faced.  In her blog to her loved ones back home, she wrote that 'the greatest failure is the failure to try', and the statement hit home for me.  How about you?  What are putting off because you're afraid you won't be successful?  Is it a job change, taking on a new project, asking forgiveness, making new friends? Let go of whatever it is that is holding you back, and TRY! I don't think you'll be sorry.
