April arrived with a mix of offer and fresh energy. The kind of month that feels like both an ending and a beginning all at once. It was a time for wrapping up, reflecting, reconnecting, and planting seeds for what’s next. A true bridging month.
First off we celebrated my brother inlaw’s Birthday, reconnecting with friends and Easter with family. These celebrations are great to keep us coming together and staying connected.
The mid part of April was all about closing the winter semester. That meant donning my teacher’s hat full-time—writing and correcting final exams, reviewing projects, and guiding students through their final push. It’s the kind of work that demands focus, attention, and care… and I gave it all. And in return (to my surprise) I received a flood of LOVE right back from those students. I’m telling you it is a sincere honor that took the time to write me appriciation notes.. worth the HARD work!!!
There’s a quiet satisfaction that comes from closing out a term. It’s not just about ticking boxes; it’s about witnessing growth—watching how far students have come and knowing you had a hand in their journey. Exhausting? Absolutely. Worth it? Every time.
On the event planning side, April marked a bit of a shift. Most of the client event programs were wrapped up, leaving space to turn the page and begin shaping new projects. It was the perfect time to reflect on what worked, what wowed, and what’s worth reimagining.
This slower pace (relatively speaking!) also gave me time to explore new ideas and collaborations that have been simmering in the background.
This is the perfect time for suppliers to come and do their ‘magic’ with their networking events – really Sales Calls but hey who’s counting. These gatherings weren’t just about exchanging business cards. They were about meeting new people, sparking strategic alliances, and opening doors to fresh possibilities. There’s something incredibly inspiring about being surrounded by peers and professionals who speak the same language of creativity, logistics, and vision. It reminded me why I do what I do—and how much room there still is to grow.
More than anything, April was about bridging and preparation. The preparation for a new academic year. The preparation for the next wave of client events. The preparation for where I want to go next both professionally and personally.
It wasn’t a flashy month, but it was a meaningful one. And sometimes, those are the months that matter most.
See you in May….
