The Negative Nancy’s of the World

  • Ask Anything

The funny thing about writing a post about negative people is making sure I don’t sound negative when I’m writing it!! If there is one thing I’ve learned since becoming an adult and then starting a business it is that attitude is everything! I love this quote from one of Michael Hyatt’s blog posts: “Some people are relentlessly negative. It’s like they derive their significance from feeling wronged, put upon, and persecuted.

We spoke at my dad’s church about a year ago. We shared about our business but more importantly we shared our story about Michael leaving his job at our church in order to join me. That was such a hard season of our life because there was so much unknown. We didn’t know what God was trying to do. We didn’t know WHY we felt like Michael needed to join me and not be a youth pastor anymore…all we knew was that God was moving in our hearts and in our life and we were just trusting that He was going to do something with us!

The KJ Bridal Guide 2.0 is HERE!

  • And it's on SALE for a Limited Time!

Two years ago I finished a project that had taken me TWO YEARS to complete!! My goal was to create a Bridal Magazine for my brides to enjoy and to send this to them as their “Welcome Gift” right after they booked with us! Well, what I didn’t realize was that this Bridal Guide was going to become the single greatest piece of my entire Wedding Experience AND give me some of my life back!! All I was hoping for was a great gift for my couples and this 76-page magazine started to transform our wedding days in the most AMAZING ways possible!!!
