A “leading with love movement.” The world right now is immersed in chaos, destruction, death, fear, loss of loved ones, panic, loss of businesses, jobs and property with many experiencing traumas from recent hurts. It has begun to limit our faith in leadership and has created a loss of connection towards our fellow man. Over the past few months the world has seen a shift towards more isolation, division and chaos.
Now is the time for us to rise and restore hope back into our lives, our leadership, and our communities. It is time to re-adjust our focus to love. The hate must end, the hurt must end, the breakdown must end. I raise the cry for us to embrace our humanity aside these most recent perilous acts of brutality and start the restoration process. We will be using flowers to bring a message of hope, love, forgiveness, and unity. We will be exchanging beauty for the ashes. Flowers are a powerful weapon and they speak a message of truth. One that says. “We will lead with love, not brutality, fear or judgement.” Flowers shouldn’t be reserved for weddings and funerals. We should use them to celebrate us and our human race now.
Listed are the ways our mission will make a difference.
1. Showering love on those who feel unappreciated and unloved. Letting them know they matter.
2. Breaking down the barriers that stop us from being human to another. Teaching that love will prevail.
3. Bringing refreshment to those fighting on the front lines.
4. Sending comfort to those who have experienced loss especially their loved ones.
5. Mending the relationship with those who have hurt us by showing them another way. Letting them know that we understand their hurt and anger and declaring brutality is not the way to validation.
6. Encouraging our leaders and those in leadership roles.
7. Letting the poor know we are here for them and that they can still be blessed despite the lack they are experiencing.
8. Sharing a reminder that we can still breathe and have a voice when we feel we are not being heard.
9. Leading by example to take action to rebuild our nation instead of tearing it down
10. Giving a reminder to those experiencing chaos that the world can still be place of peace and creativity.
Let us work together to rebuild our nation and spread the message with flowers.
We will be giving flowers to those hurting and those who have lost hope. We will be spreading them over the ashes of destruction. We do not select by race, walk of life, profession, religion, or political party as to who will receive the flowers. We will be organizing flower walks and parades for various communities across the nation to share our message.
To become involved with the mission is simple. We are looking for those with a heart for sharing and spreading love. Givers, walkers, organizers and those wanting to carry the message.
Sign up to be a volunteer. We'll get your city on our walk and share schedule.
Any amount of donations keep our florists sending flowers our way to distribute.
We thank you for your participating in restoring harmony love and beauty to our nation.
