What happened?!

Well...I never thought it would happen to me but it did. I've lost the passion for the flower business. So..I'm taking time off to help reconnect with myself. Find my passion for life again. Yes. I'm happily married. Yes. I'm blessed to have the best 4 kids who I adore and who adore me. My personal life is wonderful but my business life has been a frustration. People have changed, the industry has changed. I'm left wondering what is the point. I've been off for 3 weeks and have loved spending time with my kids. I am attending AIFD national symposium as I gave my word I would be on stage. Perhaps it will help rejuvenate my love for the flower business. Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE flowers. Its the business that I'm no longer enchanted with.  I'm looking forward to seeing all my friends and getting inspired by the talent there. Perhaps I will find out others have been where I am now and have moved past that feeling and love going into work. Time will tell.

Memo to Bosses - Thank your Employees!

Did you remember that Administrative Professionals week is just around the corner!? This is the time to recognize your staff for helping the company become successful through a lot of team work. One gift that says thank you so well is the gift of flowers. Research has proven that the gift of flowers for employees will lift an employees mood, create lasting memories, boost production and creativity.

I can't even make this stuff up! The research was conducted by A&M Texas University. They found so many benefits to having flowers in the work place while they were conducting the survey. Here is a link to the research which really is worth reading.

Adminstrative week is April 23-27 with the official day being on April 25, 2012

I for one believe in saying thank you to your staff. I do it through out the year as I honestly do appreciate everyone of my staff. They won't know how much you appreciate them if you don't tell them. And so, I will take this opportunity to say thank you to Roselle, Sany, Denise and Brena for making my store the place to buy your flowers! Couldn't do it with out you!
