Yesterday was an amazing day for my career in wedding/event planning. I got a call from the offices of someone I truly admire and respect and have followed since I was 16 years of age. This designer has been my all time favorite, used by Oprah, just recently got married to his partner, and has four (working on the fifth) coffee table books.
Well, I thought of this event for Jan 2014 and sent out an email to his team, asking for pricing on the speakers’ fee, what’s needed to get him out here, etc. I got a CALL!!! A call from my favorite event designers CEO! I was so thrilled and beyond tickled pink. He wants to come to my event…how amazing is that!!! The phone call alone got me motivated to do amazing things, to stand strong in my will and determination of my dreams. The fact alone that he picked my event to attend made me want to do and be better in my goals and dreams and my business.
I want him out here so bad, that I looked into funding, crowd funding, investors, etc. I asked a friend of mine about sponsorships, how to get them etc. I found a lovely and wonderful crowd funding last night and signed up. I am reaching out to my friends, family, and lovely followers to help with this amount and help me be able to get this speaker here at this event. Other speakers have expressed their interest and really want to be a part of this too.
So, I ask that you take a look at my Go Fund Me site and see if you are able to donate anything at all to my business, Erika Swift Events, and hopefully rock the Denver state with an incredible speaker, event designer, and all around wonderful person! If you know me, you know that for me, asking for money (or help) is really hard, however, I am so close to my dreams and goals and aspirations, that I find myself being ok with asking for help. I know having this speaker here will not only help me, but the wedding professionals here in Colorado.

Here we grow again...
...yeah I know...the title is a bit cliche, but I couldn't think of anything else for this post. For one, we did grow something and for two, its cute.
So, I wanted to give my kids a sense of responsibility and since having pets is out of the question, I figured why not try a plant?! Who wouldn't love a plant. So off to Wal-Mart we go and we get seeds, potting soil, pots, and I think we are set. However, I ran into a lovely older lady who explained that since it is already May, the seeds we picked may not bloom in time, especially with the crazy weather we've been having. She made some suggestions and I took them.
We got two pots, one bag of small beginners (it doesn't really say beginners) potting soil, and two already in dirt plants.We got home and went outside, placing out all the materials that we needed, and played with the potting soil for a while.
We placed Jazzy's pot first, placing some dirt in the pot, and put her rooted plant into the dirted pot and then put more potting soil in the pot. We then did the same thing to Zeke's and potted his new plant as well, leaving them both outside for a few hours to get some sunshine.
I love their enthusiasm and their joy for these plants. They have wanted to take them outside for sun every day, they do that before they eat their breakfast. I love how awesome they are being with these plants. It is fun to watch and I love how they are enjoying watching them bloom.
This has been fun to watch and to learn with them and being able to see their growth in our small family project. Tomorrow is another day to grow some plants and to be able to share this experience with them.
