Hi I am Erin🙋🏼‍♀️ - Event Manager + Creator of Tinseltown Winter Market.... I posted this on my personal page but thought I would share here too.

Do you ever sometimes just stop and just look around… + think how did I get here?…

From walking into this building (Crystal Center at the time) as a 2008 grad student of a class of 400…stepping into the unknown…to now walking into this very same space as the one helping bring a beautiful event, Tinseltown to life.

Life has a funny way of coming full circle🙌

Back then, I had no idea what was ahead… (and well I still don’t) ….No clue about the paths, the risks, the growth, the hard seasons… or the moments that would shape me into who I am today.
And now… here I am…..Managing, creating + coordinating an event that brings our community together, supports something bigger than all of us + gives back to a very special organization… the Compassion House Foundation 💜

It’s easy to get caught up in what’s next, what’s not done yet, what we’re still chasing…but this is your reminder (and mine) to pause and actually acknowledge how far you’ve come.

Because growth doesn’t always feel loud…
but one day you look around and realize…..
….You’re not who you used to be
….You’ve built things you once only imagined
….And you’re standing in places you once walked through with no direction

And that’s something to be proud of.💜💜💜
So if you’re in a season of figuring it out… keep going….. because….
You just never know what these same “walls” will mean to you years from now.

⭐️FUN FACT: The grad pic I am pictured with Megan Williams whom was my Elementary bestie. We grew up together in the French Immersion world, drifted come high school + adult life... to now we reconnected she has been a vendor for 3 years at Tinseltown!⭐️ Here biz is Miss Monarch

⸻
And the coolest part?⬇️

We’re just getting started.

Tinseltown is in its 7th year + is EXPANDING! ❄️🙌 which means we’re expanding our Volunteer Committee!
We are more than just an event… we are something that gives back, connects people, + makes a difference in our community.

If you’ve ever wanted to get involved, meet amazing people, + be part of the behind the scenes magic…..this is your sign ✨

Message us or reach out… we’d love to have you.💜💜💜
