This last week my sister Vanessa was in town! The “original” Vanessa of Vanessa’s Flower Shop. It was so much fun being with her and the family.
I am forever grateful she allowed me to take over the flower shop when her and her family moved to Arizona.
I had no idea I was walking into my dream job. I absolutely love running this business. Creating is my passion and connecting with people for special occasions is truly such an honor for me.
I learned so much over the years of helping Vanessa but had no idea how much behind the scenes work there was, and which was required to run a business. Vanessa has been my mentor for everything and I’m so happy to be carrying on her name.
For so many years Vanessa was the other Sasha to the kiddos in our lives; and now (LOL), I am the “OTHER VANESSA”, how funny is that!?!
I am so thankful and grateful for this time in my life. It’s shown me things do continue to work out in life. Prior to the flower shop, I was doing private health care and while I felt in my heart that was coming to a close for me, I didn’t know where my career would take me. Then this “flower” thing happened in perfect alignment and with perfect timing.
If you’re not sure which way your life is going and not sure what you will do next… I encourage you to surrender and relax into the flow of life and look/pray for signs around you, we never know what the next day or opportunity may bring to us or how things will unfold.
That’s my Sunday rant. Be blessed! I hope you’re doing something you love!
