Time and Effort

We have a radio ad running right now that lets you know we're here to save your relationship through the purchase of quality floral artistry from Edgy Petals....we had fun with that ad! It is injected with humour but still to the point of buying flowers to impress your significant other. BUT, picking up your bouquet on the way home is not only about the flowers, it's about the time and effort you put in to thinking it through, parking the car, thoughtfully writing out the enclosure card etc.

TIME and EFFORT are really the essential component, wether picking up flowers or simply helping with the dishes. And it's always something you can give more of .

During this season of giving, who can you give more time and effort to???

Passive, Aggressive or Assertive?

Calling someone out....should you do it?

This is a question we've all had to address from time to time. I can't be the only one.

I look at the situation this way: if the topic in question is directly related to you, your loved ones, or your business, then the answer is a resounding yes!

Ask your questions and clear up the situation.

Otherwise, you won't sleep at night. The topic will fester and play over and over in your mind until it's addressed.

If the topic is not near and dear, ask yourself if it benefits anyone for you to get involved before you jump in. If there is no benefit other than personal satisfaction, you should probably let it go....don't create drama for no good reason!

Being assertive is a skill.

Being aggressive is not.

Being passive will get you nowhere!

Random Acts of Kindness...spread the love!

On occasion, we have the pleasure of providing flowers for a high school class that gives them out as "random acts of kindness".

The impact a random act of kindness can have is clear when reading through the notes that their teacher passed on to us.....I'll share a few:

- "I gave my flower to a lady just outside Shopper's Drug Mart. She called me back to say her husband had just been told at the doctor's office that he had cancer. She told me that the gift of the flower was a sign of hope and gave me a hug."

- "The first person I gave my flower to was a lady at the insurance agency. She was soooo happy. I continued to give 3 flower to 3 other ladies. I really liked it alot."

- "One of my flowers went to an employee at the McBain Insurance. I decided to brighten her day. she was very surprised. She couldn't stop smiling. She smelled it and when we left she was sharing with the other employees."

Clearly, a random act of kindness impacts the recipient, the giver and continues to spread!

What will your random act of kindness be? Please post to our facebook page....we're curious!
