Creative @ Heart
Sweet friends, today I share with you an experience that has forever changed my heart : attending the Creative @ Heart conference!
A conference designed to foster growth, build purposeful community, and Inspire the hearts of like-minded creatives. Wow. When I read those words I was blown away. I knew I had to be a part of that.
You will never believe what happened next : I mentioned that I wanted to attend this conference to a few colleagues. ALL of them were confused. They asked me why I would want to attend a conference that ANOTHER event planner was hosting? Won't your competition be there? Why would you support them? The questions continued. The doubt grew! What was I doing?!
I then read this verse and it became clear: "We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us." Romans 12:6
Friends, the reason I attended C@H was this : I had been yearning to build a purposeful community among like-minded creatives - including other event planners! Along with attending, POSH PR was also a sponsor and gave away items from The Caroline Doll Shop! It was so awesome to share my love of designing beautiful things with you all! {PS: I have loved seeing all of your instagram posts!}
The truth is this : we are all given different gifts. We are all very different! It is a blessing to have friends in this community and it was an absolutely beautiful experience. Not only did I make new event planner friends at the conference, I learned from some incredible creatives. {True story : I sort of freaked out when I met Bonnie Bakhtiari! She is amazing!} We encouraged each other. We shared stories. We laughed, we cried!
Thank you, Kat & Taylor! Thank you for bringing our creative community together. Thank you for your commitment to building others up! Thank you for being so selfless. We truly are better together!
