Welcome to Life Celebrated!

Welcome to my blog, Your Celebrated Life… Let’s have fun!
I am a Celebrant and my job is to help people celebrate important moments in their lives.

My blog idea is to talk with you about my job and experiences in hopes that they will spark ideas for you! I want to discuss ritual and ceremony. Why should these two words be important in your life? How can you incorporate them into your day or week or month?

Celebrate your life! Take time to recognize and honor important moments. Acknowledge change: value your past and embrace the opportunity to look ahead.

Celebrants create personalized ceremonies and officiate at all types of life events. Whether paying respect, moving forward in life, accomplishing a major goal or creating a change of direction, a celebrant can help you design a service which speaks your voice.

Here are some common celebrations that I can develop and officiate for you:

• Wedding – Traditional or Non-traditional
• Funeral or Memorial Service
• Baby Naming or Adoption
• Commitment Ceremony
• Elder Honoring
• Renewal of Marriage vows
• Career Change or Retirement
• House Blessing
• Military Homecoming
• Illness Survivor Gathering
• Divorce Party for Healing and Transition

Or other meaningful life passages for you or your family. Let these moments speak personally for you with a unique celebration that honors your personal beliefs and principals!

Celebrating milestones in our lives is important to me. I feel that here (in the United States) that we are good at celebrating with gift cards and presents, but do we celebrate with significance? This is a subject matter that I hope to explore. I hope to hear from those of you with meaningful rituals that play important parts in your lives.

Is substance in our life important? If so, how do we achieve it?

I want to look at what is important to you, and you, and you. When a significant achievement or pivotal event occurs in our life, is it imperative to acknowledge? I think yes, but how about you? How do we acknowledge? Your feedback and comments will help give us all guidelines on when celebration is exceptionally important and when simple recognition might do.

As this blog grows I hope for feedback from you. I will want to know – what do you think? How do you feel? I hope you will share your stories and experiences with me.

Here are ways you can reach me. If you are on Facebook, please join my fan page, Your Celebrated Life. You can also reach me via email patty@yourcelebratedlife.com. I look forward to hearing from you!

I hope you enjoyed my first blog. I'll be posting additional articles about twice per month.

All The Best,

Patty
