Where to start again

Well, my New Years resolution lasted a short time. LOl I guess it's best just to start somewhere. So here it goes.

This is the Boutonniere I made for the show My Tacky House. The episode is number 104. It will air on May 12. My Daughter Sare's 21st Birthday. I am so excited !!
I met a wonderful couple and taught them how to make a fresh flower arrangement. mind you I had, had a terrible bout of the stomach flew and had been to the hospital just days before this was filmed. So for those of you who may see this show please tell me what you think

Blooms and Kisses

Since Blooms and kisses came to be. My life has been greatly Blessed. Life seem to taste sweeter,look brighter and feel better. I have made such wonderful friends. I have learned so much about myself and others. Not to mention how much I've yet to learn about my business. I decided this year I was going to be a better business person. Ha ha.. Anyone who knows me, knows what a daunting task that really is for me..LOL. In any case, I love what I do.. How many people can say that these days.... Well I'm off to make some arrangements and get ready for a bridal show this weekend. I really don't like this part of my business. I like one on one, not crowds and quick little tid bits to draw in a potential bride.

I am trying to end my blogs with an inspirational quote...

We all can't do great things... But we all can do small things with great LOVE....
Mother Therese

Funerals

While being a florist, funerals are a big part of my business. Which makes me sad.. The clients that I deals with are grief stricken and I usually cry right along with them, when they share apart of their loved ones life with me. When I deliver the flowers to the funeral parlors I am so grateful when they have an attendant that will take them to the room for me. There are the times that I have to deliver while everyone, family and friends and are present. I can hear bits of conversations of reunions and that type of stuff. Which just drives home, how important it is, to show the ones we LOVE ,that we actually do love and care for them while we can...
When I look around the room I can see collages of their departed loved one all peppered threw out the room. These images really stay with me. I wish I could distance myself a bit. But then I would have to be an entirely a different person.
Just recently a family I delivered to lost their 24 year old son. They lived in a big beautiful home and seemed to have it all. Nice house, cars, family and friends. Then the absolutely worse thing possible happened... A Mother and Father lost their Son. Just as life was really beginning to start for him. I too have children close in age.. I could not fathom their cruel and tragic loss. I wonder if there is anything that anyone could say or do to help console this family. I feel so bad for them and helpless at the same time.
We all touch each others lives for a reason whether we know it or not. Lets try to be kinder.

Kindness is a language the deaf can hear.. And the mute can speak.

New Year filled with roses....

Hi, this is Theresa I own Blooms and Kisses flowers. I am so blessed by my growing business. The customers that have turned into such wonderful friends. I have been truly blessed. I love what I do. There is no greater moment in my business than when I give a Bride her bouquet and she's moved by happy tears. What an honor and privilege to be apart of a Couple's special day. Just recently I had a wonderful Bride and Her mom really touch my heart. Misty the Bride and her Mom Linda and I met several times over the last 13 months leading up to her special day. Well we laughed and had so much fun during our consultations, that they usually went 3 times the normal amount of time. The time just flew by. Well they insisted I stay for the reception. I was invited to sit at the head table with the the Parents of the couple. Well this really touched me, however what made me cry with happy tears, was the kind and absolutely most thoughtful gift they also gave me. It was a Brighton Business card holder. With a heart in the center surrounded by flowers.

I believe what you put in the world it always comes back. If you poop on people it'll run down hill and you'll get covered in it. LOL So why not treat everyone the way you would want to be treated..

Well this is my first of my New years resolutions. On ward to the rest of them. I'll be sharing with you.
