Tell them your story.....your way!

I was gently reminded today..........of the power of story telliing!

Stories bring people to life.
Stories let our imagination run wild.
Stories help us to tell people what really happens in our lives.
 

Whenever I conduct planning sessions or meetings with families about big life events, celebrations and ceremonies........I use story telling as my main medium of inquiry.

If any Celebrant walks into your house with a structured questionnaire.....show them the door!

Tell them your story......your way!

It's that time of year to bring in the Daffodils!

 
You may or may not know this poem!

But here's the famous Wordsworth's Daffodils.......................and it's that time of year when many people bring it into their celebrations.

It fits any ceremony........and any person who has a love for these early rays of sunshine!

Happy Spring time!

A bottle of red wine.......just when you least expect it!

I had a wonderful surprise today.............I was awarded a bottle of red wine!

I'm a member of the Women in Rural Enterprise network (www.wireuk.org) and regularly attend the different networks around the West Midlands. 

Their networks are a great way to meet other women in business and hear their successes and challenges!  I always leave with a few golden nuggets that help me to grow my company and expand my brand and reputation.

Last year, I attended the local Cheshire WiRE network and was invited to give a presentation about my business, Sincere Moments.  I covered all those things that help people to understand what my product is and why I do what I do!  Namely:

  • Why I chose to become a Celebrant
  • What I enjoy most!
  • How I'm growing my business
  • My Values and Ambitions
  • Tips and advice for other WiRE members
So imagine my delight today, when I received a bottle of red wine from Sue Roberts, the network leader from the Cheshire WiRE network.  It was awarded for the best presentation given at the Cheshire network meetings during 2012!

And here we are today......having a little radio exposure at a local radio station during our meeting........with a bottle of wine in hand!


Thank you so much Sue!
