We began 20 sentences that each person finished in their own words. Here’s what wedding planner, Ashley Gain, had to say about working moms, Jillian Michaels and everything in between.
Age: 30
Title: Mrs. Mom, Wedding Planner, Friend, Daughter, Sister!
Married/Single: Married
Kids: Roman: 4 months
Live: Scottsdale
I was born…
at Tucson Medical Center!
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the weather. Escape in July and you are ALL set!
I’m listening to…
Adele…over and over and over again.
My family…
is my foundation. They believe in me when I don’t believe in myself.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Jillian Michaels. Strong, smart AND beautiful!
One thing I cannot live without…
A planner. If I don’t write it down I will forget!
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a child psychologist!
I’m inspired by…
working moms. Finding that balance in who you want to be and taking care of your family to be the best they can be too.
The one person who motivates me is…
my husband. He constantly pushed me to be a bigger and better version of myself!
If could change anything in the world, it would be…
the absence of Child Abuse.
The perfect day would be…
hanging with my hubby and kiddie! Lunch outside under the sun and just relaxing.
My first job was…
at a florist. Go figure. Now I see florists every other day!
My favorite escape…
a beautiful beach with a book.
My life…
is blessed. I have more than I could have dreamed!
I’m currently working on…
weddings. Weddings. Weddings. HUGE over-the-top weddings for 2013! Bring on the brides!
Always…
tell people how much you love them.
Never…
fear the future. Life gets better and better BUT you have to have hope to believe it!
Favorite Quote…
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Nelson Mandel
Biggest Dream…
To be a “Life Celebrations” Consultant {yep, I made that title up!} To be a household name who teaches and educated women with the understanding and the gift of entertaining in their lives. Teaching them how hosting a dinner party to a large soriee with your friends can make you feel SO good!
My Pet Peeve(s)…
Negativity. Everyone runs into bumps in the road and hard times. During those ask yourself do you want the circumstance to define you? A defeated mentality will only prolong the problem and make you feel poor about yourself. Rise above and conquer on!
