Why Mountains? Why Adventure?

Mesmerized by the way two people love each other, each so uniquely.  I always leave room for dessert. Believe swear words are just sentence embellishers. Think indulgences are necessary in this life.

Parties with all the best people in their lives.

Love stories in all forms without the white dress... or maybe they wore white, it happens.

Just my little thoughts on different topics of planning your wedding day big party or just you two.

Stories of two lovers making it all about them, as they should.

You might have noticed there have been a few changes around Jacilyn M online. New site. New blog look. New logo. New tagline.  Mountain Resort Weddings for the Adventurous Couple.

What does that mean? Why does it matter? And, why mountains and adventure?

This summer I started this new adventure into specializing. Finding what makes me tick in life, bringing it to business, and specializing there. It has been SO much work, yet SO worth it!!! I’m so excited about this new direction. Although I know many of you have no idea about  it or may be questioning, what is happening?!

There was a time in my life that fear took over. I started living in this little hole scared of everything. I felt like I lost myself. Well, honestly, I did. It took a while, but I realized what I was letting fear do. And then I came to the conclusion that fear is most often these lies I tell myself. And I decided to take a stand. Take my life back and overcome fear. This transition started in the mountains. On a cold day with my snowboard strapped to my feet I sat there and figured out what was the number one thing holding me back from being a better rider. Speed. That was my biggest fear. It became my goal of the day to break 45 miles per hour. 3 runs later I was bombing down the mountain at 52 mph. From then on I began to break down this fear. As I accomplished this on the mountain it became easier to do it in life, and in business.

My life, what I stand for in life, is adventure, exploration and progression. Not letting myself stand still. Desiring more. Going after more. Seeing and experiencing all that I can in this short life. This is what my life is about. My business is this extension of me, therefore it falls in line with adventure, exploration, and constantly pushing myself to be better.

This is where I specialize. Mountain weddings. The mountains feel like home. They excite me. When in their presence I feel compelled to explore and push my limits.  My brides and grooms, feel the same. This desire for adventure. They’re drawn to the mountains, possibly for the exact same reasons I am. They look for new adventures. Their wedding doesn’t necessarily have to be crazy adventurous, but in life the seek out the adventure.
