I voted!!!

I voted!

And you should too.

A very few days from now, we the people will have exercised our right to vote and selected the next President of the United States of America. Election years are so full of excitement, confusion, expectations and surprises. During a recession- such as the one we are facing before us, it becomes too easy to lose sight of the light- the love-and the truth that is our World. Never has there been a better time, a more crucial time, than the present to stand up and make your choice. You may sense I am not just speaking on the ever important elections of November 4th. You are Smart and Amazing to realize that everyday the opportunity is yours to make the choices that are right for your World.

"For if I have choice, I am the richest of all."

Be conscious of that throughout your wedding planning (and your life itself for that matter) and Blissfulness is sure to follow!

One of my favorite favors

As we are mostly aware, it is Breast Cancer Awareness month, therefore you will find tons of information and ideas centered around this cause. If you are interested in a unique, thoughtful and non-wasteful favor for your Wedding, a Bridal Shower or other favor-ed event- I encourage you to check into donation favors. I just got an email this morning from Jean M- they have an easy ordering process for these well put together sets. For more information on this generous, feel good favor idea and to support the cause- you can check out the Pink Envelope Project site.

Another one for laughs :)

A follow up to my previous post... perhaps this was the "whatsherface" being spoke of?

My laugh for the day!

I'd rather be smooching...

I adore these buttons. A breath of fresh air in the wide world of Wedding! Get 'em at Etsy (of course!)
