With time, I also began to better understand and appreciate what my natural strengths: an artistic flair, a gift for communicating, and an obsessive attention to detail. I was also lucky to have people around me who recognized these talents in me and encouraged me to develop them and apply them. I find it interesting how we can look at ourselves from within and not recognize some of our gifts, and it often takes someone on the outside looking in, to help us recognize and appreciate our own strengths. My husband, my mother and my friends all played a key role in encouraging me to do what I am doing today. In the end, I combined aspiration with aptitude, and then followed a path, one small step at a time. Looking back, it is indeed true that a journey of a thousand miles, starts with one step...

Social media is an amazing source of inspiration, and I get good advice and amazing thoughts and inspiration daily. I also get some great laughs. There are a lot of funny people out there, and I do feel laughter is great for the soul.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your job?
Take care of people. Whether it's your clients, your employees, your vendors, your partners. Treat everyone with kindness and be fair. Life is like a Carousel, and what goes around, comes around (and now you know how we came up with our name)!
I am always insured by my brides. Their joy, their excitement, their hope for the future, their love. This is what truly continues to inspire me and make what I do so meaningful and gratifying.
