As I sit on a plane headed to Santa Barbara I am overcome with a complete joy and an amazing awe. A realization popped into my head that was very powerful and surprising. Flowers have given me everything. Each precious bloom I have touched has been a part of supporting me so that I could be a good wife, a mother that could stay home with her children, a business owner, flowers have made me a teacher, and flowers have made me a speaker and even an event organizer. Flowers have given me the most remarkable friends, and flowers keep me connected and believing in God. I get to travel now, I get to mentor, and inspire, I even got to design at the White House and its all because of those precious petals. The power of flowers should never be underestimated. I am so happy and excited right now. California here I come!!!!

My feelings exactly! You have such a way of putting yuor frrlings onto words; that too is a gift. Safe travels, I can’t wait to learn!
* your feelings* I need to learn to edit!
Agreed and I feel this way about St. Therese of Lisieux (The Little Flower) who’s intercession set me on the flower path that has kept me from boring awful desk jobs and provided a way to make money whilst feeling co-creative and one with nature. The business has its stressors how sweet of you to remind me of its graces!
