Fourth of July weekend!! Happy independence!What an inspired weekend! I was in St. Anthony Park 7/3 and then in Uptown 7/5. I met so many cool people. When I ride my fun
little bike and say "free flowers for real," I mean it. I don't accept donations from those I give flowers
to. It would contradict the "pay it forward" style of giving concept. People are so shocked that something
is free. I buy the flowers and give them away. I do not have any sponsor and it isn't a gimmick. My biggest surprise has
been how often people offer me money even when I told them the flower is free. Even in these challenging times it seems
as though people have a hard time getting something for nothing. To me it is not nothing, it's everything. It is my pleasure
to give what I myself love receiving~flowers. I am so lucky!
