Gorgeous Bold & Bright Inspiration!

I love reading CNI Designs blog because they put together some fantastic inspiration boards. They never cease to amaze me and more often than not I absolutely LOVE what they put together. I love that they pair various colors that most people wouldn’t even consider putting together. I love risk takers :) I love that they will put multiple bold colors on the same palette. It’s awesome. CNI Designs, keep it up!

Isn’t this board that they designed fabulous?! LOVE IT!

Dreary Day Pick Me Up

I hope everyone had a fabulous 4th of July weekend! Mine was absolutely wonderful, the weather was great and we had parties and cookouts every day. It was so much fun to spend quality time with great friends and family.

Now today…well it’s been a long one. The rain has returned and we’ve been having thunderstorms all day long. Needless to say having the boys stuck in the house (again) I didn’t get much done today, and my very lengthy “to do” list didn’t get much attention which means tomorrow will be a busy one. I needed a little bit of a pick me up to lift my spirits on this dreary day so I did some quote searching and found a few. I thought it’d be nice to share. They all touched me in a different way, perhaps they’ll do the same for you.

“One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.” ~ Lucille Ball

And here is the last one:

What is Life?
Life is an Adventure…Dare it
Life is a Beauty…Praise it
Life is a Challenge…Meet it
Life is a Duty…Perform it
Life is a Love…Enjoy it
Life is a Tragedy…Face it
Life is a Struggle…Fight it
Life is a Promise…Fulfill it
Life is a Game…Play it
Life is a Gift…Accept it
Life is a Journey…Complete it
Life is a Mystery…Unfold it

Life is a Puzzle…Solve it
Life is a Song…Sing it
Life is a Sorrow…Overcome it
Life is a Spirit…Realize it

Be Inspired!

Planning your wedding can be so exciting! You see something that catches your eye in a magazine or online so you clip it and you save it in the folder you’ve dedicated to your wedding planning. But sometimes brides have all these ideas in a folder or stuck in their head and they have a hard time pulling all of them together. Maybe you’re at the opposite end of the spectrum and simply don’t have the slightest idea where to start. Well regardless of which bride you are, I have some great news for you! Whether you’ve got it all together or you’re stressing on what color to choose, you’ll get some amazing inspiration from the inspiration boards on Magnet Street Weddings. These boards are absolutely marvelous! Browse through them and see what catches your eye, perhaps you’ll build off the ideas you already had or you’ll gain a fresh perspective to create your own inspiration board. Want to share it once you’re done? Perfect! I’d love to see it, as I’m sure other brides would too. Upload it to the Internet and post the link in the comments section of this post, or if you want some input but don’t want to share it with the world, email it to me at info{at}sochicevents.com. Best of luck!

Mid-week Mood Lifter

On Monday I received a note in the mail from a colleague and enclosed was a poem. It had been a rather rough day so reading it really lifted my spirits and the timing couldn’t have been better. I wanted to share it here. Everyone has ups and downs in life and I’m sure we can all use a little inspiration to never give up :)
Don’t Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out –
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
