FLOWER QUOTE: WHEN THE FLOWER BLOSSOMS

July 29, 2019

MY TWO CENTS When the flower blossoms, the bee will come… The flower does the hard work of blooming and growing into its full and amazing potential.

Flower Quote: Flowers can't solve all problems, but they're a great start.

MY TWO CENTS Flowers can’t solve all problems, but they’re a great start… It’s true, flowers cannot solve problems, but they sure can help.
