I donโt even know if I can put into words how much
Petal It Forward meant to me.
When I started Bloom & Brook, I knew I wanted it to be about more than just selling flowers. I wanted to build something that made people feel good. Something that brought a little more kindness, connection, and beauty into our community. I spent so much time building a career outside of our small town, being able to be here and make these moments happen, though small, mean so gosh darn much to me.
I think we forget how much the smallest gestures can mean to someone and even more so, how much giving and โscattering kindnessโ can lift your soul. You never really know what kind of day a person is having or what theyโre carrying with them.
I managed to film a couple of these sweet moments, but most of the day was spent just soaking it all in. ๐ค
I went out hoping to brighten a few peopleโs days, but I think I came home with a fuller heart than anyone (? a heart more full? ๐). This community has given me so much over the last several months and being able to give even a teeny tiny of that love back means more to me than I can explain.
Be kind to people. Love on your neighbors. Do the little things, even when nobodyโs watching.
And if you ever get the chance to make somebodyโs day a little brighter, take it. ๐ค
Thank you, Crivitz. Truly. ๐ซถ๐ผ๐ธ
