A Whole New World! October 16, 2008

I am so excited right now! I drove home today from work (teaching kindergarten) with the biggest smile on my face! I was just plain giddy! And I have to be honest….I was not giddy because of anything special that happened at school today…although a few funny things did happen. I told the kids to go home and tell their parents that my favorite tree is the Sassafras. One of my little girls put her hand on her head and wiggled her body as she said, “Yeah, because it’s like sassy!” I laughed so hard and of course told the class that yea indeed that is why it is my favorite tree…”because I am a Sassy Lady!” I will miss teaching….but, I was giddy because earlier that day I snuck out during rest time to call Jodi Bell at Chocolate Cactus! No I did not order chocolates (although I did eat a lot of peanut M&M’s today)! www.chocolatecactus.com is a company that helps you brand your business! Yes…I am getting branded! Jodi is going to design  a logo and help me brand M Livingston Events! It is the next step for my business of 10  months…and I can not wait! Included I will get business cards… that I do not have to make at home on my computer…even though I thought they were “good” for an amateur! I will also get envelopes & a letterhead…but most importantly she is going to customize my blog for me! I like to think that I know my way around a computer…and what I do not know, I can learn….but really, I think God put each of us on this earth with certain talents and patience for certain things! I have spent the majority of my life having the patience of a saint (haha) in order to deal with five year olds for eleven years now! I do not have the patience to create a blog or web page! I would rather pay a professional to do it! And that is where Jodi comes in…Thank God for Jodi! I heard about Jodi from Donna Von Bruening, a fabulous photographer here in Savannah, Georgia! ( www.dvbphoto.com) Donna has also proven to be a great mentor for me. It is so nice to know that I have someone on my side who wants to see me succeed! I hope I make her proud as my business grows and matures into being THE Savannah Event Planning business…at least that is my goal! Donna thought Jodi would be perfect for me at this stage of my career. The minute she told me the website name, www.chocolatecactus.com, I was intrigued! And then today when I talked to Jodi, i felt like she completely got my vision and had great ideas! So today begins the start of a whole new world for M Livingston Events…cyberspace will never be the same with all my sassy chicness! I hope you will join me for the ride…hold on tight…its bound to be exciting!
