I’m a determined person.  Like really determined.  I am that girl you see on Undercover Boss who is married to their job.  Not because I really want to be married to my job (Lord knows I love my husband to PIECES), but because I really really love my job.  I’m the girl that can’t wait to respond to emails, or see what is happening with my peers through their own personal blogs.  I want to grow.  I never want to become stagnant.  I push myself.  Hard.  Harder than any one person should.  And quite possibly, these are the things that make me love my business the most.  I am determined.

I had the opportunity last week to go to Making Things Happen Tour that was in Denver.  I’m a huge fan of Southern Weddings Magazine – and because of that, I have become a huge fan of Lara Casey (the editor).   Her blog is uber inspiring and always a lift in the midst of a busy business life!  I learned a lot about the fire that is within – and just how to push yourself to become more productive, and grow.  Jeff Holt is a fantastic photographer who shared his story, tips, determination and more.  Overall, the day was pretty amazing for me.  The workshop wasn’t really about business or taking good pictures – it was about your own personal growth and potential, which is something I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about.

A huge thanks to those of you who I learned from and shared with at MTH2010 in Denver.  There’s a lot of reasons why I want to do things and do them well – and here’s my biggest one (from St. Patrick’s Day with my point and shoot) :)
