NACE Sacramento - January 2009

Do you know about NACE? NACE is the National Association of Catering Executives. We are a group of caterers and event professionals who have standards of excellence in the event industry. I am proud to sit on the board of directors for the Sacramento Chapter. Here are a couple of images (courtesy of Siegel's Portraits) from our meeting at Whitney Oaks Golf Club.

Thanks for visiting my blog. This is my first official post. My name is Katie Edwards. I am a mother, daughter, sister, friend, and floral designer. I suspect I am a few other things as well, but this is a good beginning list.

I am excited about 2009. I have made a conscious decision to focus on the positive aspects of life and the wonderful opportunities that are available to each and every one of us. Yes, there are challenges right now, but this is not the first time we've faced challenges. We all have to choose how we will navigate this time in our life. I choose to seek out the best lessons I can find. I choose to focus on my blessings. I choose not to participate in the negative swirl around me. I understand the difficulties, and I do not minimize them. But, I will not let them define me.

So, to my brides & grooms, I congratulate you! I am thrilled that you have found love, a future and purpose in each other. To my friends and family, thank you for all that you do to make my life so rich. I wish you all a warm, wonderful, loving 2009.

Blessings,
Katie
