Celebrating (a Belated) One Year!!!

Did you miss the J.Starr One Year Anniversary Celebration Party??? Don't worry...I missed it too! I guess that's a good sign, business was so busy my first year, I didn't even have time to celebrate! But If I did, I'm sure it would have been a fabulous event ~ complete with trees made of cotton candy and a firework display!


I will always consider my "first" official J.Starr business debut day to be: March 24th, 2011. And today I want to take a moment to stop, breathe, relax, celebrate and appreciate all that has happened.

~That was the night of the Wedding and Event Networking Party that I coordinated the "Flashing Lights" fashion show.

~It was the first night I handed my J.Starr business cards, with my logo and my cell phone number

~It was the first night that my website went live

~It was a time when I felt totally vulnerable ... thinking the most critical thoughts of myself in my head and wondering what people were thinking....

 

 

But it's those moments in life, when you really have to PUSH yourself PAST all the noise in your head and JUST FREAKIN DO IT. Put yourself out there, make yourself vulnerable....that's the only way to really grow sometimes, professionally and personally. I now look back months later and think to myself wow....What would have happened if I didn't do that? Sometimes taking that first step towards your dream is the hardest part, add in some passion and dedication and things just start to happen.

I'm so proud to say that in my first year of busniess J.Starr Stylized Weddings :

~Coordinated the WEN "Flashing Lights" Fashion Show

~Took 2nd Place and was even featured on the news for the NACE Elements Design Competition

~Coordinated First Celebrity Event

~J.Starr Team Coordinated and Provided Floral Design for 7 weddings

~Booked First Destination Wedding

~Booked an Additional 8 Upcoming Weddings for 2012
