🎈Yesterday it was the day for F*** it
We all have them, and now in my midlife I can see they are more often than usually. I wonder if I just get less patience for unprofessional, bad, mean behaviour. Or my boundaries are more clear then before. Anyhow, I decided enough is enough and left the situation.
I shall not go into details it’s not important.
The important bits are:
👉 I still see the good in people and assume we all do our best as Brené Brown beautifully explains in her talks and books.
👉 I also know an ass**** when I see it as equally beautiful Elif Shafak said it in her interviews.
So after acting on it, crying, talking to my loved one, journaling in the morning, today I danced in my kitchen with intention to shake the anger, sadness and reconnect with my joy. And it was so cathartic.
It’s been a while since I posted a reel of me dancing here, so it feels good.
I leave you with Elif Shafak and her quote:
“ May we all know ourselves and the ass**** when we see one. “

Gosh it’s been a while since my last video here. I am easing myself back into it, now that I can see the waters have settled a bit since our move. Still processing stuff, but I want to reconnect to you my lovelies.
Thank you for your patience and sticking with me. I appreciate your attention and time.
How are you? Do you also feel pulled a bit between going inwards and the pressure of seasonal cheer.
From my heart, Nora

We are not enlightened enough to have no limits. So embrace them. Just because you can afford it doesn’t mean you need to have it. Watch and be aware. Most often the extra money we die d on the event doesn’t add any value to it on the contrary it can take away from it. It can overwhelm you and the guests and distract you from the important bits.
Sorry a bit shaky on this reel. Didn’t practice as usual. But you get what I mean. And if not, ask me things in the comments.
From my heart, as usually. Nora

I mean seriously though. It’s so overwhelming and counter productive. Over complicates everything.
What do you think? Let me know in the comments.

The silver lining was that I got to say goodbye to Victoria Station as it was my first contact with London 22 years ago. And now that I am moving to Copenhagen it felt good to acknowledge that.

A bit tired today. But still showing up. I need a nap 😅

Your job as an event planner is to create an event that reflects the true self of the person/charity/company. And since we are unique beings the events should reflect that uniqueness just remember don’t do something out of the ordinary just because you can and want to impress.
I hope this helps.

I use the same frame work that I share with you for decision making that is not related to events at all. I find it reassuring as I strive to honour my needs and desires and be rooted in reality. The secret is to hit that spot where all these three meet and are equally satisfied.
It's like the G spot for event planning 😜 It takes some practice to discover but my God is worth it. Just follow my prompts and instructions and you will get there in no time.
Enjoy my darlings and let me know how your event goes.
Also any feedback is welcome.

No matter how much we try to trim our guests lists and avoid any friction, it will always be someone that will trigger in us all sorts of emotions. And when that happens we can practice radical curiosity, just like it was suggested in “ THE GOOD LIFE” book by @robert.waldinger based on the longest study on happiness from Harvard.
I highly recommend getting this book. It’s a heirloom. Full of wisdom and zen quality, even if it an academic book with data and stuff. It’s well written so mere mortals like me can get it 🤣

My gift is the secret for any successful event not just birthdays.
Maybe you have a work due to organise or a wedding or a conference. The foundation is the same. It all starts from here.

This is what I am talking about and want to help people with. I want us to have meaningful events that allow us to be vulnerable and connect.

Don’t you agree? I mean decorations are important but not so much as they distract from the main goal of the event. Be careful what you focus on. You have limited time and energy. #birthdays #celebrations #hosting #planning #organising #ideas #parties #experiences #authentic #partyplanner #planner #eventplanner #socialgathering #authentic #heartlead #events #aniversaries #fundraising #fundraisingevent #workshop
