Yes 8pm, I was so pumped to be in bed EARLY.  Scrolling through my news feed catching up on all the social jazz I missed out on during the day.   Set my phone down rolled over to snooze.   Then……  my brain turned ON.   What the heck brain!   Time to sleep!

So anyway.   I’m not going to share my good ideas just yet, BUT I did want to write a quick something.

A few months ago I had a big idea that kept me up at night.   A big idea that of course I shared with Holly.  I wanted to throw some kind of party, some kind of networking “thing”…. in my head I was calling it a gratitude party but I needed people to ‘get it’ and to want to come.    But really, that was my intention.  To think about all he people who have helped me on this little journey, and to hang out with them, have them meet each other, and to express my gratitude.    This idea was big, and crazy, (as per my usual).

Here’s the crazy truth.   Holly and I set a date.   That is what we always do first, before anything even comes to life.   Over the next 4 weeks or so I literally cancelled my party idea verbally to Holly about 10 times.   I don’t wanna, I can’t make the vision come to life, we are busy, no one will come.    Self Doubt is a crazy thing.

Well it was meant to be because when I got the courage to meet up with Brittany and Lane, (at The Signature at West Neck ) they didn’t look at me like I was crazy, and they seemed super open to hosting events with me.   Really ….now a legit venue doesn’t think I’m crazy???.  So I shared “the date” with them.  I said it out loud.

This is like the same week mind you that I had said “Holly lets just forget it”…… well I left my meeting I voxed Holly right away and said “THIS IS HAPPENING.”    Luckily she knows me, didn’t judge me for the back and forth, and we proceeded with the planning.

Fast forward to today.  The event was last night.   It was amazing.  Truly, I have no words type of amazing.   I’m going to be sharing more when we finish images and I can truly give credit to the amazing people involved.   But for now I leave you with this….

If you have a crazy idea, act on it.   Let the doubt rear its face, but don’t let it win.   You may rework or change the idea… but don’t give up on it.    Set the date, say it out loud.    If you need someone to say it to email me!  I’m the queen of crazy ideas, and they don’t always happen and that is OK!   But it is where the magic starts.   So go for it friend!

My biggest fear of the whole thing is that someone I love felt left out, didn’t see the invite, it got lost in the shuffle, they didn’t get word…..so many errors can happen, I am human.  So many people have helped, taught me, believed in me.  So if you missed it I promise there will be more fun things to come 🙂   That is all!

Hugs and Thanks!
