How did you get over your ex?
What ex? Depends.
I have such strong imposter syndrome as a florist but not as anything else in my life and I think it’s because I compare with other modern florists even as I still fully know and believe that there’s room for all of us and we all support each other it’s just weird sometimes but when the bride says it’s all perfect and does her happy scream over my flowers then what more validation and love do I need to believe that I’m worthy of success in this realm of artistry?

Does intuition mean listening to your heart? How do we listen and trust our intuition?
I think it goes beyond listening to your heart and becomes more of understanding your true self deep down. Getting close to your intuition means developing the awareness to discern between anxiety, conditioned thoughts, thoughts influenced by emotion, and your intuition. Intuition is a guidance within, a knowing. Listening to it and trusting it requires intentional solitude, intentional choices in your life, quieting the world and listening within, journaling, etc. This is what my coaching practice will be about 😉

if you feel like you’re free falling or unsure about your path, trust that the universe will show you where to go and what’s right for you. confirming what is already yours or making space for what is to come.
when you die, you lose your hands. your arms. your heaving chest. you float through something very softly, quietly. nothing rushes like you think it does. there is no wild white light. no aggressive dark tunnel. everything breathes. it feels like an embrace of all the lovers you ever lost, the nights they all individually held you for the first time. it feels like that relaxing of tense shoulders that you didn’t even realize were tense, a heartbeat you can’t touch. when you die, everybody who ever cared about you is a light. like the light that shines through your eyelids when you are in a car with your eyes closed on a sunny day. flicker, touch, dance. there is a long line of them and you can’t see the end of it. so you stand as they each go by and there is never night, there is never slow cold coming. they tell you how much you mean to them. every single one of them. this melts any human thing that is left on you. you are all smile. all quivering. all god and no god at all. when you die, you melt into another, like a puddle of poem. like an exhale. they call this soulmates. made of the same flicker of light. the same dance. you both talk about the times that you almost found each other. the path you decided not to walk through at your favorite park when you were seventeen. the car accident you missed by only a blink of an eye, a quick turn of the wheel, when you were twenty-five. you both laugh. together as a puddle, you laugh, and you think of how next time you’re going to plan it better. they say, “i’m going to walk by you at this time on this day, please remember. please remember this time.” and you say that you will, but you both know you can’t take anything with you. it all stays right here. and you melt even more, knowing that sometime you both will have to find another form to live in for a while. you’ll both have to solidify and learn all over again. you kiss goodbye after a few decades of this puddle. you kiss goodbye with that warmth, and they say, “remember,” and you say, “i will,” and you laugh and wake up crying with new little hands, with eyes that don’t want to open yet. and the more you try to hold onto “i will” the more it slips from those new little hands. but the time will come that you see them. and you remember.
If anyone is familiar with finding a writing agent I know nothing about this process but want to be published for real the next time I release something so any help would be appreciated 💕
My story is (mostly) not unique, which is why my writing has been able to reach people over the past 10 years. Each of us has a line of pain running through our center, a crack in the golden being of ourselves. Sometimes this pain almost was unnoticeable as it began. A small whisper of recognition passed within us and then we carried on with life. For others, this pain had a loud beginning that had us wrapped around its finger. Sometimes we have both. As we get older the layers of life dull the initial pain and we eventually are only dealing with the residue and forget the source. Our present interactions trigger us and we feel that old pain erupt, yet it feels brand new. When I was a child I had panic attacks and I didn’t understand what anxiety or depression was until I was 16 when I heard the words for the first time in therapy. At that age I was in a toxic relationship that had an unhealthy, unbalanced dynamic that left a lasting effect on me, which I didn’t fully uncover from within until 7 years after that. I’ve always worked through my inner world through writing. Releasing it into the world was a cathartic act. Vulnerability has always left me feeling alive and understood. Every book I’ve published has been a confession in its own way. Still at 29 I am discovering more within myself to uncover, unlearn, and grow from. That will be an eternal part of life. And I hope to continue to share what I’ve learned with you so that we can grow together. I want everyone to have gentleness on the journey of digging through our own inner beings.

Hello lovely x Was just wondering how you landed a writing gig with yoga journal? I’m an aspiring writer who’s interested in doing some freelance + just wanted some insight! Much love your way! 🕊
I actually did not seek it but it came to me, which is completely wild. I think just from having my writing be shared around the internet for over 8 years has allowed it to reach certain people. The senior editor emailed me and asked if I’d like to write for them. I’ve only had one article published so far since they’re understaffed but I’m working on more now and it’s such a cool experience, I’m incredibly thankful for it. I have never been one to chase things but just do my work and stay true to myself and whatever is supposed to come from that does come. It’s all in its own time. I wish I had real advice for you, my experience probably was not a common one. I hope you’re able to do some freelance work for magazines that are aligned with you!

what are some of your favorite things about being a florist?
working with nature and creating together, I can’t take full credit for what the arrangement becomes. And the ways that flowers can change someone’s mood, the way they shift a space.
Anonymous asked:
where do you grow your flowers?
I don’t grow my flowers. I get them from local flower farms and from wholesalers who supply flowers from all over the world
Anonymous asked:
what about favorite flowers to work with or any favorite florists? <3
my favorite flowers to work with are tulips, lisianthus, & queen anne’s lace. I try not to have florists that I spend a lot of time studying (I muted florists on my Instagram page) because I really want to zero in on my style and who I want to be as a florist and not pull inspiration from my co-florist’s work.

I start my first floral shop job on Monday! Is there anything you wish you knew when you started?
That’s so exciting!! Congratulations. Definitely be curious and ask questions. Something I wish I had done when I started training was asking more questions about the business aspect of it and understanding how much to charge. I’m still figuring that out on my own and having guidance at the beginning in that aspect would’ve been really helpful.
