Check out the Pedal it Forward from The Flower Shop. Earlier this week, the store participated in the Society of American Florists’ initiative to spread joy and kindness through flowers. The idea is while it feels wonderful to receive flowers, it’s equally amazing to brighten someone’s day by giving flowers.
“We are lucky enough in our daily job to see the excited, heartfelt responses people share when we deliver flowers to them. It really is amazing to see the reactions! Today, we are paying it forward by participating in the Petal It Forward event. 60 bouquets are being given out in sets of two. One to keep and one to give!”

“I get up in the morning, I don’t tell my children that I am going to work,” she told WJBD. ” I never say that. I am going to help people. When I mentor to other young people whether it be in the CEO program, going to campuses, and talking to children I tell them pick a career when you wake up in the morning you say you love what you do. Do not settle for anything else. Love what you do. Even through this last year and a half I am proud to say that I love what I do because I am helping people.”
