We are here to help! With these helpful hints on flowers, you will feel more confident about choosing beautiful blooms for that special someone in your life!

Something Simple and Sweet-

Consider a mixed bouquet of daisies, lilies and wild flowers. This mixed bouquet is appropriate no matter what the occasion. Perfect for the “New” relationships. It simply lets that special someone know that you are thinking of them. A local florist can deliver the flowers to your recipient with a message card.

Someone need a pick me up-

A basket of Flowers or a flowering plant with a teddy bear is just the right touch to brighten someone’s day! Perfect for someone who is having a bad day or doesn’t feel well.

True Love-

Roses can represent many things. Red Roses have been long known for their association with LOVE. But don’t feel confined to just red! If you know she likes pink, then send her 1 dozen pink roses. For special occasions, such as Birthday, Valentine’s Day or Anniversary, make more of an impression by sending a spectacular 2 or 3 dozen roses in a vase. To be unique, send 2 or 3 dozen of a more rare flower, like calla lilies:) WOW! Add balloons and a bear for a real surprise!

When in doubt…

Ask the florist. They are the experts! Tell the florist what kind of personality your recipient has. Maybe even what colors they like. With your sentiment in mind, they can recommend the perfect arrangement.

Include a Message…

Always include a message with your flowers. Even if it is simply, “From, John” or “Love, Phil”. It can be very frustrating to some people to receive a gift without knowledge of who sent it. Simple sentiments like….. “Just wanted you to know I am thinking about you today” or “Thank you for being you” are appropriate. Of course, If the gift is being sent for a particular occasion, mention that. For example, “Happy Birthday to a Beautiful Woman- With Love, John”. Perfect! Simple and Sweet!

Add something special-

Florists often have many things that can be added to your floral arrangement to make it extra special. Plush Animals, Mylar and Latex Balloons and Chocolates are just a few of the items that can compliment your floral gift!

Timing-
Remember to order early before busy holidays, especially Valentine’s Day! Most florists suggest ordering a week before if possible. This will ensure a better selection of flowers and timely delivery to your recipient.

Finally, Don’t order your flowers through a call center! These companies charge you a fee to process your order. Even if they tell you that they don’t charge you fees, they will absorb a portion of your money, and then pass the order on to a local florist at a decreased value! Make sure you order your floral gift directly from a real local florist in the town you are sending them to. No Middleman, No Extra Fees! This will ensure that you get the best value and service! Your floral gift will be beautifully designed for presentation. Very impressive!

This is an amazing story. It’s about my friend Robert.
Robert is one of those really charismatic people. You know
the kind I mean. Wherever he goes, people are just drawn to
him, its truly a sight to behold.

At dinner the other night, Robert’s charm drew the waiters
in and they conversed with him a great deal. However, when
I spoke up, the waiters didn’t seem to pay much attention.
They may have even been a little dismissive. It was as if
the only person at the table was Robert. The difference was
Robert’s charisma. He has that special way about him that we
all sometimes wished we had.

Anyway, in order to find out what that special something
was, I decided to interview Robert. I captured about 2
hours worth of questions and answers with him.

Here is what I found out. Robert basically, though he
might not say this directly, ‘loves’ people when he talks to
them.

He has genuine concern and positive regard. He likes to
focus in on one thing that he finds especially interesting
about a person when he talks to them. It doesn’t matter if
he tells the person what that thing is or not, it seems to
have the same effect. Try it and see what happens.

Now, how does that relate to health? Well you see, my
article on the mind-body connection discusses the principle
that Bernie Siegel wrote about in his book, Love, Medicine
and Miracles. It seems that when his cancer patients
revolutionized their thinking to become more loving and
accepting of others, their cancer often went into remission.

You see, what Robert does with people, is love them when he
talks to them. Keep in mind that love is an action, it is
not an idea that sits there, it is active. Bernie’s cancer
patients loved those around them more and as a result their
health improved.

Now do you see the connection between charisma, love and
health? By loving others, not only can your health improve,
but your social life improves as well.

So what are you waiting for? Start looking for ways to love
others more and watch your life improve in every aspect.
This could be the most important thing you’ll read today.
Why not share it with a friend?
