After 20 years in finance, tomorrow I’ll close one chapter and begin another.
To say I’m feeling a mix of emotions would be an understatement. I’m scared, excited, relieved, grateful, hopeful….sometimes all in the same breath!
For the past few years, Green House Floral has grown from a dream into a business that has brought so much purpose and joy into my life. Every arrangement, event, subscription and conversation with a customer has reminded me why I started this in the first place.
Is my business where I thought it would be before making the leap to doing this full time?
No.
And that’s okay.
Because I’m also incredibly proud of how far it’s come and what I’ve built. I’m grateful for every person who has trusted me with their flowers, encouraged me, shared my work, or simply believed in what I’m building. You’ve helped make this possible.
If you know me well, you know I’m not naturally a risk taker. But somewhere along the way, I realized something: too often, we wait until everything feels certain, comfortable, and secure. But dreams require the courage to take the leap before you have all the answers—and to trust yourself to figure things out along the way.
And I always have.
Over the past few years, I’ve also come to an important realization-my definition of success has changed.
I’m deeply grateful for the career that has challenged me, shaped me, and provided so much for my family. But as life has changed, so have my priorities. Right now, what matters most is having the opportunity to give the best of myself—to my two boys while they’re still young, to my family, to this business I’ve poured my heart into, to my clients, and yes…to my garden, where so much of this dream first began.
This isn’t about walking away from something. It’s about walking toward the life I want to build for me and my family.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Green House Floral so far. I truly can’t wait to see what this next season holds.
Here’s to taking the leap, embracing a little uncertainty, and believing that beautiful things grow when we have the courage to plant the seed. 🌿🤍
