FEARLESS & FABULOUS SUCCESS STORY

An Essay by Kelly Barkhurst

My all time favorite quote is this: “We do not remember days, we remember moments.” - Cesare Paves.

Every single one of us has moments that are vivid in our memories ... our lives are made up of them, each one piling on top of the others. Some are made up of pure joy and happiness and some are tragic and full of deep sorrow. Happy or heart wrenching, they have the power to define our days and we remember them with great clarity.

My most defining moment in life was on November 5, 1978 when both my mother and father were killed in a plane accident. I was eleven years old. This is by far the most heartbreaking event of my life and in many ways defines me and who I am today. It is a rare day that I don’t think about my parents and miss them terribly, but I am not a victim of this accident. In the midst of my sadness, I choose to be thankful for the short time I had with them and realize that every moment is precious and fleeting. It is up to us to appreciate and celebrate the life we have rather than fear it and also celebrate the people who are a part of it when we have them, because “this too shall pass”. My parents’ death taught me this.

My second favorite quote is: “The things you are passionate about are not random, they are your calling.”

More than anything else, I love to create events, plan parties, and bake fabulous cakes and desserts. This runs deep in me and I cannot even tell you how ridiculously excited I get about helping you plan a party. However, I have always just thought that this passion was a hobby and it wasn’t until recently I realized it’s the gift I have been given and that I should cultivate it and share it with others. We are all given special gifts and talents and I believe with all my heart that it’s our job to share them. This doesn’t mean we’re not afraid.

After a lot of thinking and planning, I launched my company Oh Kelly’s this year, because I finally realized that I wanted to spend my life helping people create their own special moments. I am passionate about creating moments for people that they will remember, helping them mark a moment with something special and helping them celebrate a loved one. Life is what we make of it and I want to spread as much joy as possible.
