TAKING TIME TO LOOK BACK

December 30, 2014

That petal our world.

I am not one who spends much time in the past though I probably do spend too much time looking forward and not being in the moment, a habit I’m working on though it’s a slow process. With that said, there are times in life when it is good to look back and see where you started and where you are today. To be reminded that you aren’t in the same place you were a year ago, and even if you think...

GRATITUDE

December 23, 2014

Gratitude - My Blooming Blog by Floating Petals. I am grateful every day for this opportunity to share with you the wonder and beauty of flowers.

What springs from my soul is being grateful for this life. Though in this hurried life, especially around the holidays, it can be a most challenging time to be grateful. To stop, be present and to see all the wonder and good around us. And I will admit I write this for myself, as I am not always the most grateful person as I get wrapped up in my world and find it easier to see the negative, the h...

My Blooming Blog - Floating Petals - Russian Princess Tulip

I have often thought of the woman who works in the offices I described in my last blog, and the woman whose office is her car, as she runs every which way to take care of all of the people in her world. These women are my Everywoman: on a Go! Go! Go! schedule; caring for kids, a parent, friend, lover; or log-jammed in a demanding job. But she is also that searcher, that seeker of beauty. I see her...

WOULDN’T IT BE WONDERFUL IF

A Bouquet On Every Desk | Cool Crayon Zinnia - My Blooming Blog - Floating Petals

My office is a very personal space for me. It is a space that motivates me, encourages me, and inspires me. I have spent many days in client’s offices, too, and have not felt so inspired. I’ve been to corporate offices that are football fields of cubicles under fluorescent lighting. I’ve both worked in them and spent many days wondering how to make such a space inspiring. Thinking, that for ...

ONE SINGLE POST-IT NOTE

A Simpel Reminder: A Post-It Note | Coral Senecio

I am a huge fan of Post-it® notes, and have written more than my share of them. Everything from the simple reminder to take out the trash to writing “Cheers” to my husband and placing it next to his wine glass as I'm leaving for an evening at book club. Recently, I came across one in our hotel room, on the bed frame, that read, “Your duvet covers and sheets are clean for your arrival.” Wo...
