I got home a couple of days ago after spending 3 magical weeks in the Philippines for Events Asia 2010. I have some amazing stories and can’t wait to share them with you. In the mean time I put together this video to showcase a smidgen of what Michael and I experienced in our short stay in Paradise.


I was out for brunch with friends this morning and we were debating the age old question: If you could come back as anything what would it be? One person said they’d like to be an old Oak tree. I guffawed and said, “That would be boring. There’d be no one to speak to for 800 years!”.
I guess that’s one thing that separates humans from most others. If we get bored we can do or find something to occupy ourselves. When you think about it, that’s kind of inspiring.
If you’re bored with work, life or play, you have the power to change it.

I’ve just come back to my desk after handing out cigars. You see, Event Solutions Magazine just posted their Top 10 Blogs for Event Design Inspiration. A deliciously decadent list of great blogs – many of which I subscribe to…a few more that I plan on following. Little ‘ol ready2spark is honored to be a part of this esteemed round up. A big thank you to Rachel Globus and the rest of the Event Solutions team for thinking of us!
