Weddingbee boards

I am soo excited to start with the USPS. As such I am sad to be putting my wedding planning business into retirement. I have TONS of inventory to get rid of and three more events booked and then I am done! It is a sad realization but I am excited for what the future will bring. I think I will still have a penchant for doing certain things and may do them on the side but I feel so... Free.

My friends/business associates are upset that I am retiring my business but I began falling out of love with what I love the most:weddings!!!! Thank goodness I will still be able to help brides via the Hive or else I may go bonkers lol!!!!!

Anyone else switch career paths?

@oyster:shhhhh!!!!! I don't tell everyone lol!!!! And omg yeah it is coming up really quickly! I did the mockup today and it was awesome. I hopefully will be able to post pix tomorrow...

@beekiss: thanks so much my boss to be emailed me twice and I had to take a drug test etc, but I promptly wrote my thank you letter to her today and she was just so awesome making sure that the H.R. Dept didn't have me working somewhere else. She goes oh I was scared to death lol!!!

@meliss: yeppers oyster said it. I owned an event design and planning business....

@mama: how cool is that? I have recently been dabbling in photography as well.... But more inanimate still life... I have surprised myself lately with some shots especially of my ring lol!! But I think I am passionate about it ;)

@beekiss:that's awesome!!! This is my third career in life. Once upon a time I was a court reporter as well.... I really like everyone in the office. They were sooo nice but maybe because they are in desperate need of help and didn't want to scare me off lol!!!! I hope to be like your aunt!

@mamahusky:Ooohhh that sounds so fun!! I bet my son would love it. He is very artsy...

@vegan:yep I am selling the excess inventory and I will be a rural carrier. I am really excited about all of it especially the income. This year has been the toughest financially and if we could survive all of the things that happened this year, then marriage will be a breeze....

@oyster: girl please!!! I didn't care lol!!! You are hilarious!

I left the job I love also. It kills me some days to watch the news especialy with the elections one week away. I am considering going back to the field for the presidential races, as I don't think I can be just a bystander for it.

Good luck girly. It will be great.

@tks: what did you do before?

@kmsull:lol!!! I have hated it for a while to be honest with you. I loved helping people but having the inventory etc just wasn't worth it to me.

I worked on federal political campaigns.  I am so kicking myself for not getting into a race this year, the excitement of years like this only come around every 15 or so years.  I will be back after the first of the year, the more I think about it, the more I know it is my passion and I can't live without it in some form or another.  I would just like to get one more big win under my belt before I give it up for good to really know I made a difference.  I won the last race I was on, while it was the best we had at the time, I never really felt the candidate was "the one" I could really stand with 100%.  Of course those come along rarely.  I have enjoyed my time away and have kept my toes in by speaking to local students about a variety of subjects as a guest lecturer and doing bit work for a few locals.

@tks: that's sooo cool!!! I think that my true calling is somewhere in marketing and brand identification and/or customer service.... But I am happy with the security of USPS and I can still do my things on the side....

I so wanted to get into a marketing and/PR firm a few years ago.  For some reason, their HR departments couldn't see how politcal campaigns are marketing/PR.  Seriously!?  It's all marketing/PR, the morons.

@tks: sometimes people are so caught up in what they think is the right background that they can't think outside the box....

Thanks jo.lee!!

@missjyc: THANKS GIRLIE!!

@artichokesalad: that's a heck of a jump!! how are you enjoying it?

@JamaicaBride: Everyone is really upset with me.  However, weddings have taken over my life and my house for far too long. I am just over it. If people want bouquets I am still willing to do that, otherwise I am just not interested.

I just put my classified's listing up for the stuff that I can get rid of now... I feel so.. clean lol and free.
