EMBRACE THE NEW YEAR

As the new year approaches, like many other people I am thinking of what I want to accomplish in 2025. These last few days of 2024 are the perfect time to make your plans so you can begin working toward your goals right on January 1. 

I know professionally I have set a few goals for myself. None of them will be easy for me to accomplish, but I am excited to put in the work and see the results. Here are three of my goals:

1 - Get the world speaking the language of flowers

2 - Have the first draft of my second book finished by June 30, 2025

3 - Attend another conference with friends from the ‘writing world’ for continued learning, some good times, and memory-making moments, too!

A suggestion for you starting in January, is to make 2025 a ‘flower-filled’ year. This can include having flowers in your own home, gifting flowers to others, or perhaps starting your very own flower garden (even if that means pots on your patio). (Excerpt from ‘A Bouquet of Words’.)

There are many benefits to having flowers in your life including the mood-boosting impact they have (just a hint to what book #2 will be about!).

So let’s embrace this new year! It’s full of new beginnings (daffodil). Make sure you keep your life balanced (hellebore), and stay dedicated (hyacinth) to obtaining your hopes (snowdrop) and wishes (dandelion).

Wishing you a happy life (peony).

A Flower-Filled New Year's Resolution

Happy New Year!

I never used to make a new year’s resolution, but in the past couple of years, I’ve found it a fun thing to do. Today I’m going to encourage you to make this specific resolution - ‘Have a flower-filled year’.

Let me tell you why this is a great resolution for the upcoming year, and all the things you can do to make it come true. At the end, I'll share my personal resolution for 2021.

Why having a flower-filled year is a great resolution for you:

Common sense tells us that flowers make us happy, but scientific research proves it. Study after study shows that flowers improve our mood, brighten our environment, decrease our anxiety, improve our sleep, increase our productivity, and strengthen our memory. There’s no doubt about it – flowers make us happier and healthier!

How to be successful in having a flower-filled year:

It’s great to have a resolution, but if you don’t stick to it, there’s really not much point. The good thing about this specific resolution of having a flower-filled year is you can keep it as simple as you want while still reaping the benefits. There’s no need to complicate things and get stressed about not having the time or money to have flowers around you. There are so many ways you can use flowers that are easy and affordable and all will help you be successful in having a flower-filled year. The best way for you to learn about these things just happens to be connected with what my new year’s resolution is all about.
