The Ballarat Courier: Ballarat Bride 2013

Congratulations to The Ballarat Courier on a great new Bridal Magazine. I love reading it for inspiration and just great wedding ideas. I love the dresses, the photos, the stories of how happy people are on their wedding day. If you haven't read it yet, pop into the Courier office and grab a copy.

     

This one is pretty special for me though as I am in it this year, and I am so happy to be placed next to an all time favourite wedding quote. It might be a good omen for the year ahead.

On Monday May 13th 2013, the world lost a compassionate and outstanding young woman, and I lost a true friend. She was 33 years of age, and she died 13 days after the discovery of a tumour that turned out to be ovarian cancer. She was brave, dignified and funny to the end, and I will miss her enormously. 

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affectiion of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
