An armful of flowers

A bundle of color

Releasing all those happy chemicals so desperately needed after a long winter

A little reminder that everything is OK. It’s actually great. And this is just the start.

I’m thankful for the rebirth of the past year. Losing everything was life altering, but it’s was what I needed, and has become the best gift I’ve ever received.
It’s like starting fresh with a clean slate but with the wisdom of 40 years of life under your belt. I’m excited to have independence for the first time, and all the possibilities, dreams, and hope that come along with it. The future has never looked so bright🌟

Important!-Customers who ordered dahlias from me, several of the varieties did not store well and a refund was issued to you (there would have been a note on your invoice). It has come to my attention that there was a technical issue and many of the refunds did not process.

Don’t fret, I will be working on quickly remediating this and I apologize for any inconvenience! Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Happiest of birthdays to my most favorite human on this planet, my sister!
You make me laugh more then anyone, you’re unconditionally there and supportive of me, and you’re my anchor when things go to s**t. I’ve been truly blessed in this lifetime with you!

So much gratitude for those who purchased dahlia tubers from me this past weekend. The earnings from this weekend will go towards creating a new garden, and a new life. It has no been an easy start to the season and I was majorly behind schedule from taking some time away to work on my mental health that was struggling due to the upcoming divorce, but you stuck with me!
I’ve never been financially independent, always having to rely on others because of chronic Illness. It’s a little overwhelming knowing I’ll be doing it all on my own shortly while still having bad days with my health…but I know I can figure it out. It’s YOU and the gratitude and love I feel that catapult me into believing I can do this. It may not seem like a big deal but it’s HUGE in moving on and finding peace in this new chapter of my life.
Many thanks flower lovers 💕

Over a years worth of work all leading up to today…it’s Dahlia tuber sale day! Anyone else sweating with nervous anticipation? Just me? 😅
I start planning the sale a year out when I decide how many tubers I want to keep for myself to plant and grow more tubers for the following years sale. Then they’re planted, loved and cared for for 6 months, dug up and tucked safely into storage for a long winters rest before being divided for the next sale.
PHEW! It’s a lot of work but it doesn’t feel like it when it’s something you love. Getting to share the beautiful blooms with pollinators and people alike and then helping others create their own garden oasis by selling the tubers gives me indescribable joy.
Thank you In advance to everyone who shops the sale today, you keep this little flower farmers dream alive!
Some last reminders…sale begins at 12 pm EST. The online shop (link in profile) will be password protected 30 minutes before the shop opens so I can update inventory. The password will be removed at 12, you will NOT need a password to shop.
Local customers can choose to pick up in Candia on the 27-28 of April.
Good luck!

Work work work…working my butt off for the dahlia tuber sale this weekend, please bear with me!
I’ve been living a little nomadically due to the divorce and have had to haul the dahlias back and fourth between houses every few days…add a nor’easter into the mix and I’m scrambling a little 😅.
Cross your fingers and keep an eye out for my email tomorrow with details on the sale and what will be available. And of course…thanks for baring with me during this difficult time! I appreciate you!!

Yesterday I shared how to find your “yes” and “no” through listening to your body. Today I wanted to share a practice that’s helped me tremendously if the body is saying “no” but you don’t know why, or it’s something that you have to do despite that no
Sometimes you know there is a lot of emotion behind something but can’t quite decipher it. That’s when you journal! I’m not talking about writing about your day. This journaling is to get to the root of your discomfort.
Start by writing about what bothering you…you can write the scenario down if it’s helpful. Then start bringing up the emotions attached to it and let the words flow. If it’s anger let that sh*t out. Swear, rage, bitch…you’ll feel in your body when you’ve hit the mark. If it’s sadness allow your grief to escape onto the paper. Don’t stop until it’s all out. Ugly cry, yell as your doing it. You’ve been holding this and it needs to be released.
Our emotions as adults are typically triggered by our past…usually childhood. Can you remember times or incidences when you’ve felt this way before? Now journal on that till you’ve got nothing left.
Now that all the emotions are out there and bubbled up to the surface show yourself some compassion. Of COURSE these things suck…it’s been difficult holding onto them. It’s unfortunate that it’s happening, BUT you’re writing a new script. Now that you’ve brought awareness to these things and the root causes you can start cognitively shifting out of these stuck patterns.
And lastly…give yourself a little love for how hard it’s been. Let yourself know the story is changing…you are changing the narrative, and when no one understand or has your back, you do.
It takes some time to be vulnerable with yourself…you’ve kept these things in as a protective mechanism. But with practice it will get easier, and major changes will start coming your way. Try it out and let me know your thoughts!

TUBER SALE UPDATE! It’s on its way! I’m going to try to have everything ready for a sale date of Saturday March 30th but I’m unsure of what I’m walking into so the contingency date is April 6. I will post/send an email asap when the date is confirmed.
My time away seeking treatment for my mental health was much needed, but it put me drastically behind dividing and I’m a little nervous to see how the dahlias stored. It’s been another practice in surrender, letting go of what we can’t control and rolling with the punches. Seems like that’s going to be this years theme! I feel like if surrender can be mastered then everything else falls into place. Even though I don’t want these lessons at times, I’m thankful for all I’ve learned and the strength which has come with them.

I’ll be going on Hiatus for a bit (don’t worry, still working on that tuber sale for March!).
My goal with social media has always been to brighten peoples lives with the flowers I grow, but also to be vulnerable and honest about the physical and mental health struggles I’ve faced that are real behind the scenes, and the things I’ve done which have helped me work through a lot of struggles in the hopes of inspiring people to not give up. I think people appreciate vulnerability, everyone’s going through or has gone through something, and this idea that we all have to pretend we’re ok and life is perfect really sets a false precedent that helps no one. I know I often got caught comparing myself to others who seemed to have it all, wondered why I couldn’t be more like that. Comparison is the thief of joy my flower friends, and I found the ones I was comparing myself to were selling me a story, a fantasy…and I just can’t do that!

I posted about a month ago that I was doing better then ever and was finally making momentum with my health, and that still holds true! But sometimes you can’t predict what life with throw your way and life’s thrown some stuff. I’ve been sent for a tailspin and I’m having trouble righting myself. Mental health has to come first, if you don’t have that you have nothing, so I’m doing some things to get the help I need. Unfortunately that means the business needs to take a backseat. I’m scared my whole season is going to be ruined, but I also know a lot more then that will be lost if I don’t take care of myself first. I hope this isn’t perceived as seeking empathy because that’s the last thing I want. I want to be vulnerable so I CAN keep April Showers Flowers alive, keep the amazing customer base/regulars/friends I’ve made through this little flower farm. I figured vulnerability over hiding or disappearing was the way to go.
I still plan on having the tuber sale in March…so just hang out a little longer. Not sure if I’ll have any flowers myself this year, but trying to take it one day at a time.
Thank you for being on this journey with me and for all the love and support, I’ll update when I can. Flower on flower friends❤️
