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.
