FLOWER QUOTE: I PERHAPS OWE
September 25, 2017
MY TWO CENTS I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers… said Claude Monet, and I perhaps owe becoming a photographer to flowers. In that regard, I owe a debt to flowers for opening up a creative place in my soul and heart. I truly don't know if I could even put into words what flowers have given me, but a few words that do come to mind are: joy, life, passion, happiness, strength, compas...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
September 18, 2017
MY TWO CENTS One of the most beautiful compensations in life is that no person can help another without helping themselves… How great is it to have quotes like this to encourage and ground us?! How simple and how true is his quote, and I will work to put it more forward in my mind to make sure I’m helping others, not so much to gain from it, but to be inspired by it. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ral...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: IF YOU TAKE A FLOWER
September 11, 2017
MY TWO CENTS If you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for a moment… Her quote encapsulates the meaning behind Floating Petals as this whole website started with the idea of sharing the beauty and power of flowers and the lessons they have to teach us. This quote alone describes one of the most powerful lessons: letting a flower, if you really look at it, be your ...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: EVERY EXPERIENCE
September 04, 2017
MY TWO CENTS Every experience, no matter how bad it seems, holds within it a blessing of some kind. The goal is to find it…When dealing with a challenging situation it is often so much easier to see how hard and difficult it is, and have the ‘woe is me’ attitude, but the truth is that no matter how bad it may seem to be, there is always something to gain strength and to grow from. Having th...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: I WANT IT SAID OF ME
August 28, 2017
MY TWO CENTS I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow… Not only is this a very thoughtful statement, but very specific one: to say not only does he want to plant a flower, but to take the time to make sure where he plants the flower or good deed that it would be nurtured and grow. I can appreciate bo...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: BE KIND, FOR EVERYONE YOU MEET
August 21, 2017
MY TWO CENTS Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle… I have heard this quote or something very close to it a handful of times lately, and it really strikes a cord. It’s so easy to be in my own space, and to not take the time to be aware that everyone I intersect with has their own battle they are dealing with. Life is a challenge for each of us, and I will have to work on ta...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: RAISE YOUR WORDS
August 14, 2017
MY TWO CENTS Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder... A simple, but profound quote as a reminder to bring our thoughts and conversations to a higher level, but not to use our voice as a weapon. It’s so much more appreciated to be spoken to with thoughtfulness and encouragement rather than a strict and harsh tone, and I must work on doing the same in return. ...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: WITHOUT HARD WORK
August 07, 2017
MY TWO CENTS Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds… Hard work is needed in a garden, otherwise there is no doubt that all you will end up with are weeds. Hard work is about putting effort into planting a beautiful garden and life. Not only do you need to spend time planning and planting to have a beautiful garden and a well lived life, it’s just as important to spend time nurturing and s...

July 31, 2017
MY TWO CENTS Friends are flowers in the garden of life... I have been blessed with many wonderful friends, and they have created the most beautiful gardens for me to wander and spend my time in, along with an amazing community that I am forever grateful for. Also, as each flower teaches and awes me, my friends have also done in turn, and I thank each one of you for that. How thankful am I for my ...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: PEOPLE FROM A PLANET WITHOUT FLOWERS
July 24, 2017
MY TWO CENTS People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us… It would be so true. I feel as if I can hear Iris's excitement in her statement about how could we not all be mad with the love of flowers, as they are so unique, beautiful and awe-inspiring. Flowers should bring continued gratitude of life, and for me they do. That...
