For me, springtime is a wonderful season to embrace new beginnings for beauty and growth. I love transitioning our home from the shadows of winter into the glorious rays of spring. Each season has its beauty, holidays, and occasions, but there’s something so unique and delicate about spring. Whether it’s more sunshine, birds chirping, or lush greenery, fresh blooms always brighten my heart.
Growth
I’m the type of person who needs to be productive and set goals for myself. While I love binge watching shows like Outlander on Amazon Prime (Oh. My. Gosh. it’s SO good), I still need to feel a sense of personal productivity everyday and meeting my personal goals in the short-term and long-term. Unlike most people who set goals at the beginning of a new year, I like to give myself goals every season. These might range from drinking less coffee, organizing the kitchen pantry (finally!), learning how to give myself a proper manicure/pedicure, decluttering my wardrobe, or more importantly, engaging in more spiritual reading. These are all of my current springtime goals, btw! I find that this is a more realistic approach that allows me to check-in with myself each season to evaluate the preceding season and then reset my goals for the next season. Oftentimes my goals flow into the next season, or I might add new goals or take away some that aren’t relevant anymore. With all of these goals in mind, it’s always good to give yourself encouragement.
A weekly fresh floral bouquet is a small, yet very effective way to encourage myself for setting goals, achieving them, and then continuing on with joy.
Looking ahead

Beauty
There’s something so amazing about the natural beauty of flowers. There are so many varieties, species, colors, fragrances, and patterns. It’s difficult to describe them in one sentence, but I do know how they make me feel: alive, thriving, and blessed. I literally smile at each fresh bouquet I come across, take photos of them growing everywhere I go, and enjoy them thoroughly in my own home. My current floral bouquet came all the way from Ecuador — a literal farm to table floral arrangement complimentary from Flowers24. I was absolutely stunned to receive an overnight delivery of farm to table flowers grown in Ecuador!
I love all flowers and love how creative one can be with floral arrangements. I personally prefer an elegant yet slightly avant garde approach to my arrangements. I love delicate flowers paired with rustic twigs, or highly elevated stems next to shorter ones, or perfectly manicured roses, or a dramatic arrangement like the one here: Velvet. Mine includes 24 stems of Calla, Ecuador Rose, Scabiosa, Ruscus, and Lily grass. I adore the richness of the purple Calla against the freshness of the white Rose and the use of height and space by the Lily grass to give the bouquet an elegant and designed arrangement. It truly warms my heart.
A fresh bouquet encourages me to grow, inspires natural beauty, and brightens my heart. It will do the same to yours.
