It’s HoCo time! I haven’t spread the word, but I’ll make sure to get the word out from Prom Season.
Bouts & Wristlets will abound.
🌸
Thank you to for letting me purchase single roses. You should see Galina’s beautiful artwork at the shop. She was on her way out for deliveries, yet she took the time to help me. Thank you.🙏

Delivering Internal Peace gave me the opportunity to catch-up with my good friend & golfing buddy. This was an impromptu coffee at Banjo Cold Brew Coffee which was meant to be 30 minutes, but then two hours later we were hugging goodbye. We took a walk to the Avondale Farmers' Market together. Gail introduced me Galette Bakery and I introduced her to Sweet, Sweet Syria.

Internal Peace will be supporting Gail's very special friend. Thanks Gail!

EDIT…As of Sunday morning all are available to go out for delivery.🔆🌼🔆

Flower time!

It's been awhile...the holiday season and the start of the year had me spinning! I needed some mental diversion from a challenging week of work, so off to the flowers I go.

There are three special arrangements this weekend. Details can be found in the picture captions.

Seeing as the weather is COLD...I won't be leaving flowers on the porch, instead I will deliver them to you, one of your friends, loved ones, or someone who may need a bit of SunShine!

Text me if you'd like to invite one of these beauties into your life.
I'm starting to name the arrangements! Silly...I think not! They are each unique just like people and deserve to have a name.

214-793-7714
*Will deliver in 2 5 miles radius from downtown Decatur.

It’s been a bit since I’ve offered flowers on the porch. Life has been a bit hectic. 🏃🏻‍♀️
I’m in one of my homelands…Texas 🤠…and came across these lovelies. I forgot how gorgeous the flowers are at Central Market

I like knowing why people choose to buy flowers, so I thought you might too!
🌸
This week some brightened up their homes, others gave to loved ones & a very special bouquet was ordered to give to a friend who lost her husband to su***de 6 months ago.
🌸
Remember…this may be the month of su***de prevention awareness, but everyday we should be aware of others and let them know they matter.
🌸
What can you tell someone to let them know you care?
🌸
If you have thoughts of su***de or in the midst of crisis dial or text 988 to access the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline
🌸
The Trevor Project is available for LGBTQ youth by chat, text or calling.

🌸

Emma graduated high school with my son . She was a young soul who had struggles that were heavier than others you may know. She was a warrior through the battles, but sometimes battles are lost.
🌸
Today I’m also offering these pens & stickers from , a mental health & su***de prevention project I created 4 years ago. Should you pick of flowers please take a pen and sticker. You may keep them for yourself or maybe you have a moment & witness someone who needs the message.
🌸
I’m posting the link to Emma’s Fund, so you can get to know a bit about Emma. I understand you may not be able to get flowers today, but if you are called to support & honor a soul lost from our earth too soon, a contribution to Emma’s Fund, I know will be appreciated by those who know and ❤️ Emma as well as the kids of the future who will benefit from having monetary support to attend

Special bouquets.🌸☀️🌸

Here’s a preview of what I’m working on tonight. Right now I’m at to see a special gal who hung out at back in the day. She’s competing with her improv group, so she will be the first to receive this special bouquet.
🌸
This week’s flowers are inspired by ***de_prevention week. Purple is one of the colors used to represent the week & I chose yellow and orange to represent the sun…hope… growth.
🌸
Remember…the sun is always there. The clouds may block it for awhile, but eventually they will move along and the sun will shine. ☀️
🌸
For this week’s flowers a special “Thoughtful” from is attached to remind you and those you love that “You Matter”
🌸
Flowers on the porch tomorrow at 8am. Text if you need the address, 214-793-7714. Only 8 will be available.
🌸
$28 if you come for porch pick-up or $35 for special delivery within 5 mile radius of Downtown Decatur.

Does this picture pop out at you? Give you a moment of awe? I’m guessing most likely not. It doesn’t do it for me either.
🌸
While walking with a friend, down a local street I hadn’t traveled upon, even though it’s less than a mile from my house, I stopped, backed up a few steps and said, “I love the way that looks. It’s so inviting. The trees…”
🌸
So you might be thinking…really Marnie. I can’t explain it…it was a moment and place that caught my attention…gave me a beautiful feeling. A beautiful feeling that two weeks later, which makes it two days ago, I felt compelled to take this picture. I hopped in the car, drove the mile and snapped this picture. I had the same feelings as when I first stood there, but man, this picture does it no justice.
🌸
I’ve come to the conclusion that less is more when it comes to pictures. I plan to take more time enjoying my showstopper moments by letting my senses take all of it in, rather than my finger moving to snap a picture.
🌸
So why do I choose to share this here on MMF? Well, it makes me think of flowers and how they can truly and fully only be embraced and cherished in person. The colors, the depth, the texture, the scent and then of course the changes as the flower nears its completed lifecycle. This can only be witnessed in the present moment, in real time.
🌸
Flowers in a vase have limited time to be bright and upright. They are on the decline as they stand showing off their curves of happiness. Those who put them in a vase, or receive them from a cherished one, know it’s a temporary gift. A gift that breaks open the running of time to invite in the pause.
🌸
If you or someone you know could use some moments to be awakened from the mundane, make sure you plan to stop by my porch this Saturday morning. Pictures will be posted Friday night…oh my, which is tomorrow.
🌸
I feel compelled to share what transpired after taking this picture. I’m not sure how it happened, it was as if my car directed itself. I ended up in a cereal aisle and before I knew it, I was back home finishing my fifth bowl of Lucky Charms. My only logical conclusion is that my body craved to have my insides just as colorful and magical as it felt standing looking up this alley.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!🌸😝🌸
