45 things I’ve learned about life, business & celebrations 🥂

It’s my birthday week, and Sunday I turn 45.

45 feels less like getting older and more like knowing myself better. So here are 45 things I know now:

1. Life’s too short to save the good wine
2. Celebrate the little things, they become the big things
3. Your reputation matters
4. Kindness and high standards can coexist
5. You can be warm, fun AND good at what you do
6. Trust your gut
7. Not every opportunity is your opportunity
8. The right clients are worth waiting for
9. Relationships beat transactions
10. People remember how you made them feel
11. Luxury isn’t about having more, it’s about intention
12. The best celebrations feel personal
13. Details matter. People matter more
14. Always have a Plan B
15. And probably a Plan C😉
16. Experience teaches what textbooks can’t
17. You don’t have to say yes just cause you can
18. Protect your time
19. Surround yourself with talented people
20. Give people credit
21. Collaboration beats competition
22. Ask the question. Make the call
23. Opportunity starts with introducing yourself
24. Let your business evolve with you
25. Busy doesn’t always mean successful
26. Not everyone needs to understand your vision
27. Sometimes people need a gentle push
28. Confidence comes from doing the work
29. You can be laid-back with high standards
30. Take the photo
31. Travel whenever you can
32. Order dessert
33. Wear the outfit
34. Laugh loudly
35. Tell people you love them
36. Make time for the people who make you forget your phone
37. Your circle doesn’t have to be big. Just good
38. Success feels better when you enjoy the life you built around it
39. It’s okay to want more
40. It’s okay to realize you already have a lot
41. Reinvention has no age limit
42. Becoming more yourself is powerful
43. Create the life and career you want
44. Celebrate how far you’ve come
45. Whatever you’re celebrating, make it worth remembering🥂

45 years. A whole lot of lessons, stories, and things I still haven’t figured out.

But I think that’s part of the fun.

Here’s to the next chapter. 🥂✨

Thank you Yamona and Appellation Healdsburg for this amazing stay!! Two days of connection, relaxation and Michelin star food ✨🥂🙏🏽🥰

08/28/2026

What an absolute gift it was to stay at Appellation Healdsburg. From the moment we arrived, everything was nothing short of outstanding.

To the entire team, thank you. Thank you for the incredible chef Palmer dinners, for the warmth and care in every detail, for the tours, the spa, and the way you made us feel so completely at home. Your hospitality is a masterclass in making people feel seen and celebrated.

And a very special thank you to Yamona for putting all of this together, for bringing all of us together, and for taking such good care of all of us. You made everything seamless and so special.

We spent two unforgettable days connecting with fellow industry professionals in a way that felt relaxed, genuine, and deeply meaningful. No rush, no pretense, just great people, great conversations, and the space to imagine what’s possible together. Those are the moments that turn into real partnerships and creative opportunities.

We’re honored to have been your guests, and so grateful for the time we shared. Cheers to partnerships!

The best proposals don’t happen by chance, they’re thoughtfully planned. ✨
One of the biggest misconceptions about proposal planning is that it’s only about choosing a beautiful location. In reality, it’s about creating an experience where you can be fully present, knowing every detail has already been taken care of.
For Daniel’s proposal to Aneta at Kunde Family Winery, the goal wasn’t just to create a beautiful backdrop. It was to create a moment they would remember for the rest of their lives.
From selecting the perfect setting overlooking Wine Country to coordinating every detail behind the scenes, the experience unfolded exactly as it was meant to. Daniel didn’t have to worry about timing, logistics, or what came next. He simply got to focus on asking one life-changing question.
That’s the value of proposal planning.
It’s not about making the proposal bigger. It’s about making it feel effortless, personal, and completely centered on your story.

What happens when your perfect proposal plan suddenly changes? 🤍
The truth is, even the most carefully planned moments can face unexpected challenges.
When Napa fires forced an evacuation of the original proposal location, we had just five hours to completely reimagine the experience.
Five hours to secure a new luxury setting.
Five hours to redesign the details.
Five hours to protect the surprise and make sure the moment still felt exactly as it was meant to.
Behind the scenes, there was a lot happening. But when they arrived at Brion Winery, all they saw was a beautiful, intentional moment created just for them. ✨
That’s the magic of thoughtful planning.
A proposal isn’t just about finding a beautiful location. It’s about creating a feeling, protecting the emotion of the moment, and making sure the person you love can simply be present.
Because the best surprises happen when everything feels effortless… even when there’s a team working behind the scenes to make it happen. 🤍
Planning a proposal they’ll never forget? We’d love to help create the moment.

POV: It’s your birthday week and you work in the business of celebrating people. 🥂😂

So naturally, I’m going to take my own advice.

Celebrate the milestones.
Order the good wine.
Take the photo.
Wear the outfit.
Gather your favorite people.
And don’t wait for a “big enough” reason to make life feel special.

I spend my career creating unforgettable moments for other people, and this week I’m making a little room to celebrate mine.

Birthday week has officially begun. Cheers! 🥂✨

What makes a proposal feel truly special? 🤍
It starts with understanding what matters most to the couple.
When Adrian shared his vision for proposing to Jordan, he knew he wanted something private, romantic, and intentional. A moment where they could slow down, be fully present, and celebrate this chapter together.
So we created a sunset experience surrounded by the beauty of Napa Valley. ✨
The vineyard lawn at The Estate Yountville was transformed with:
🌿 Romantic floral details
🕯️ Candlelight throughout the space
🎶 Live music from a vocalist and guitarist
🍽️ A private chef dinner under the stars, in the vineyard
Every detail was designed to feel effortless, intimate, and completely them.
Because the most meaningful celebrations aren’t about creating the biggest moment. They’re about creating the right moment.
And the best part? After helping bring this proposal to life, we now have the honor of planning their wedding weekend. 🤍
We can’t wait to continue creating magic for these two.

A wedding isn’t just a celebration of two people. It’s a celebration of the people who helped them get there. 🤍
One of the most meaningful parts of wedding planning is creating a day where everyone feels included, appreciated, and connected.
For Cam & Adam, their wedding day was a beautiful reflection of that.
✨ Start with your story as a couple
The heart of the day should always come back to the two people getting married. Every design choice, timeline decision, and moment should feel like an extension of who they are together.
✨ Celebrate the people who have supported you
Your wedding party isn’t just there for photos. They are the friends and family who have walked alongside you through different seasons of life. Creating moments for them to feel valued makes the entire celebration more meaningful.
✨ Think about the full guest experience
From the ceremony music to the food, entertainment, and little touches throughout the day, every detail contributes to how guests feel when they’re there.
The most memorable weddings aren’t just beautiful. They create a feeling of connection, joy, and belonging for everyone in the room.
Because true luxury isn’t just about what your guests see. It’s about how they feel. ✨
Planning a celebration that feels personal, intentional, and unforgettable? We’d love to help bring your vision to life. 🤍

Why is proposal planning worth it? 🤍
Because the moment you ask someone to spend forever with you deserves more than just a beautiful backdrop. It deserves to feel like your story.
For Chris and Elsie, the vision was romantic, intentional, and unforgettable. We transformed their proposal location at Meritage Resort and Spa into a dreamy path leading to the moment that would change everything.
A runway of pink florals guided Elsie toward a stunning gazebo, creating a feeling of anticipation, excitement, and pure magic with every step. 🌸✨
This is why proposal planning matters:
✨ Every detail tells a story
From the location to the design, every element should reflect the couple and the love they share.
✨ The experience begins before the question is asked
The walk, the reveal, the atmosphere, and the emotions leading up to the moment are all part of the memory.
✨ You get to be fully present
Instead of worrying about logistics, setup, and timing, you get to focus on the person standing in front of you.
A proposal is more than a question. It’s the beginning of your next chapter.
Creating that moment takes thought, intention, and a little bit of magic behind the scenes. 🤍
