We are always inspired by a good quote. What inspires you?

“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends – they’ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything – they’re your true best friends. Don’t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they’ll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them – actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up because if you give up, you’ll never find your soulmate. You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.”

As we get ready to celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend, let’s take a moment to say thank you to our Mom’s. They are the best teachers, care takers, best friends and cheerleaders we can ask for! This poem sums up how I feel about my fabulous Mom, Brenda!  We would love to hear all about your Mom, too!

A Mother’s Love

To some love is just a word

To me it’s a feeling

A feeling I get every time I look into your eyes

A feeling I get when I realize you’re my mom

A mom who loves, shares,

A mom who inspires

Unconditionally

What’s that?

That’s love

A mothers love, but only you would know

And me

You returned that love time and time again

Possibly to much, nevertheless you did

Thank-you

Thank-you for being there when I needed you most

For being my rock when I should have been yours

Thank-you for believing in me, even when I doubted myself

For being the one person I could trust

No matter what, no matter where

But most of all thank-you for being you-my mom

A mom I am so proud to claim

I love you

Now and forever

Spring has sprung and what better time to start planning your breaks.  You’ve earned it. So, go have a bit of fun, let your hair down, and get a little wild. The question is where to venture to this year? Well, Forbes has us all covered with their 2013 Travel Guide Star Awards (http://www.startle.com/forbes-travel-guide-star-award-winners/2013-star-award-winners), and this year they gave out more awards than ever before! The list gives you top hotels, spas, and for the foodies the top restaurants. The hardest decision will be what destination first. I say go with Hong Kong the city with the most 5 star hotels and work your way around the world. With such a large list there are plenty of destinations and you don’t have to stop at just Spring Break. Take a break every season this year.

Leprechauns, clovers, and green beer –that’s right, Saint Patrick’s Day-March 17 marks the return of the annual celebration. I do not know about you but I do not need much of a reason to have a good time, and this “Kiss Me I’m Irish” (at least for today!) holiday is a perfect chance to enjoy some recess.

There are many options to take advantage of the fun this weekend!

St. Patrick's Day

 

 

 

Saturday, March 16th:

If you would like to start at the top o’ the morning, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Irish Festival in Balboa Park is always a blast! http://www.stpatsparade.org/

 

Sunday, March 17th

The main event on Sunday takes place downtown in the Gaslamp Quarter with the ShamRock Party (http://www.sandiegoshamrock.com/).  Live music, clubs, bars, special Irish food and drinks can all be found at this event.

Of course, we would love for you to also check out our client, Company Pub & Kitchen in Poway! Celebrating their 2nd St. Paddy’s Day festivities, Company Pub will start with Irish Bacon Bloody Mary’s at 11:00 a.m., followed by all-day corned beef and cabbage. Grab the open mic / karaoke and belt out your best Oh Danny Boy while your Irish Eyes are Smiling! Who’s your Paddy now?

Whatever is your prime pick this Saint Patrick’s Day, sport your favorite shade of green and go play.

Teacher of the year

One of the biggest contributions I will ever make to the event industry is to be a professor! I have the great fortune of teaching at the University of San Diego’s Event Management Certificate Program (www.sandiego.edu/emp) and at San Diego Mesa College.  I thrive when I can engage and inspire future event professionals. I was very honored when the students selected me as USD Instructor of the Year for 2012. Wow!! Given the quality of my colleagues teaching in the program, this is a very exciting privilege!
