What a pair - my 88 year old mom and I passing out free flowers

IT IS TIME TO BLOOM SMILES!

Story Idea

Mother of four, grandmother of two - but did I have any other roles or talents? I had been searching for a reason to know that my life mattered.

Becoming  “The Flower Lady” helped my twilight years blossom! .

May I please share with you -

1. What blooming kindness one bouquet at a time means to me personally, and to the 65,000 people who received a free bouquet

2. What a “day of flowering” smiles is like – I pick up up about 300 bouquets a week

3. Some poignant stories of the people I have met

4. My prescription for finding my purpose and joy

5. How I accidentally started a nationwide movement to collect day-old donated flowers from grocery stores to take to nursing homes, hospitals, doctors’ offices, recovery centers, hospices, and to people walking around their neighborhood

6. Why stores donate their day-old flowers

7. How others can do the same in their community - free and fun

Thank you.
