And finally.... "Wherever you go, go with all your heart." - Confucius
My daughter presented me with a picture of our first grandson with his footprints in a side-by-side picture frame for Mother's Day with the following quote: "Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same." - Flavia Weedn

And you know, working with brides and their families creates a very special bond with some and with others not so much - sometimes the service of wedding coordinating is strictly business. But more often than not a very special relationship is formed either between the bride and me or sometimes the bride's mother and I forge a friendship that touches my life and helps me continue to grow, learn, and hopefully develop not only into a better professional but a better person. If I can be a better person then the rest will fall in line quickly and easily.

I want all my clients (brides and families) to know how important they are to me and helping them see their dreams come true is more rewarding than words can say. I strive to not only prove that I earned my fee to myself but to my clients - I know that I have achieved this goal when at the end of the wedding I am thanked and told, "We couldn't have done it without you. Thank you, Peggy!" That's the stuff that makes for a good night's sleep. And may we all have more of those!
