Today I wished I had the perfect photographic memory, or better still, a more extensive vocabulary to capture the very essence of you. Continue reading →

I’m not just a wedding and party planner ( over at @byavecreations ) but a professional party guest too! . This is how you show up and show out when one of your closest friends marries the love of his life. . I’m channeling this joy and energy this week. How about you? . 📷 @jopstudios 👗 @jbliving

“There’s nothing I can’t do if I try hard enough. If I try and don’t succeed, I’ll try and try, again.” . Those are the words that my mum typed up, printed and stuck to my bedroom wall when I was little (I’m talking 5/6 years old). . Periodically, she would stand us (my brother and I) in front of the sheet of paper and make us recite the words. . Even when we knew them verbatim, she would insist that we looked at the words as we spoke them so they truly sunk in. . Because of her foresight, diligence and conviction, we grew up believing that we could achieve anything we set our minds to, if we worked hard enough. . My mid to late teens are when the world started to tell me something different but that’s a story for another day. . As I rested and reflected yesterday - when this picture was taken (following the completion of my clients wedding), I reminded myself of those words and wanted to share them with you, in case you didn’t have anyone else to tell you. . There’s nothing YOU can’t do if you try hard enough. If you try and don’t succeed, try and try, again. . That is my wish for us all in 2020. Happy New Year.

Life is All About How you Handle Plan B . Plan A is always my first choice. You know, the one where Everything works out to be Happily ever-after. But more often than not, I find myself dealing with The upside-down, inside-out version - Where nothing goes as it should. . It's at this point that the real Test of my character comes in. Do I sink, or do I swim? Do I wallow in self pity and play the victim, Or simply shift gears And make the best of the situation? The choice is all mine. Life is all about how you handle Plan B. - Suzy Toronto . 𝑳𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆, 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈. . . Planning & Styling: @byavecreations Photographer: @julianknxx
