I recently went to an industry conference where there were 2 black women who attended out of 300. A highly problematic ratio that likely reflects the reality of black:white owned floral businesses. ⁠
⁠
Inequality touches every facet of the culture, even flowers. An action white people can take is to support black creatives and businesses. Let’s put our money where our mouth is and level the playing field.⁠
⁠
Just imagine how much more interesting and inspiring the floral world would be with more black influence. ⁠

The most reliable studies in the scientific litera

The most reliable studies in the scientific literature indicate that African Americans are more susceptible to vaccine injury and may also have increased susceptibility to neurological disorders such as autism.... Thompson, a 17 year CDC veteran is the author of some of the leading studies cited by CDC to exculpate vaccines from the autism epidemic. Thompson, who still works at CDC, released the raw data sets that he says his bosses at CDC ordered him to conceal. Those data show that black boys who received the MMR vaccine prior to three years old, as the CDC recommends – were 3.36 times more likely to receive an autism diagnosis than those who received the vaccine after 3 years of age. This effect was not observed in other race categories. Nevertheless, when the CDC scientists published their results in Pediatrics in 2004, they omitted the damaging data, fraudulently declaring there was no risk of autism from the MMR vaccination. In August 2014, Dr. Thompson issued a press release through his attorney stating, “I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism.” - article by Children’s Health Defense.

When it comes to health we talk about diet, exercise, mental, spiritual etc. but we don't hear much about creative health.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
In my opinion our creativity is essential to our well being and non negotiable. It is dangerous when we don't use it. Like Brene Brown says..."Unused creativity is not benign. It metastasizes. It turns into grief, rage, judgement, sorrow, shame.”⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I love creating with flora and photography. What is your form/s of creativity and are you making time for it?

This unexpected Jester/Fool headpiece just happened so I am taking it as a message. If you're looking at this then it's for you too...⁠⠀

"The Fool card in the Tarot is numbered 0, which is considered to be a number of infinite potential. He approaches each day as an adventure, in an almost childish way. Even though you don’t know exactly where you are going, you are being called to commit yourself and follow your heart, no matter how crazy this leap of faith might seem to you. Now is a time when you need to trust where the Universe is taking you.

Playing in the fantasy realms lately. As the world gets more serious the more I find myself in the imagination. Call it escapism but I think it's plain survival, and arguably activism.⁠⠀

What if we were all activists of our own souls. Would the world be different?⁠⠀

Game changer weekend! The @teamflower conference, created by the extraordinary @kelly_perry, knocked my socks off with a non-stop line up of modern floral industry celebrities sharing their knowledge, secrets, and hearts.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
However the attendees were just as golden as the educators. I was overwhelmed by the wisdom, warmth, and support of so many beautiful strangers. They were my favorite part.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This gathering was another great reminder that there is no substitute for in person contact. Wishing all of us more friendships and human interconnections for 2020. ⁠⠀

And btw I received a medal for my original invention! I am over the moon that my product was validated by such an influencer, giving me wind in my sails and fire under my a#%! ⁠⠀

Winter Solstice Halo making Friday from 3-8pm @gatherencinitas for The Holiday Market.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So easy to make and will last until December 21st. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Wearing a crown for the Solstice is a reverent way to celebrate the darkest day of the year. Put on your evergreen crown and light a candle to honor the earth and your inner light. I promise you will feel mystical.

Well hello there, it's been some time since my last post. Thank you to everyone who patiently stuck around and thank you to new folks who have joined in on the Flora Aura fun!⁠
⁠
Let's just say I have been on a digital cleanse or something. It's a funny thing when you get off the IG merri-go-round for a while it's hard to get back on again. There is freedom beyond these little boxes I tell ya, and I really liked it.⁠
⁠
But I have a biz to run and some magic to share for Pete's sake! (I don't know who Pete is, but he must be important.)⁠
⁠
I will be at the @gatherencinitas Holiday Market on Friday Dec. 13th ready for crown making action. Come on out for some community fun with local artisan shopping, fantastic eats, and Holiday cheer. ⁠

Flower crowns are not a necessity of life. They are frivolous, excessive, superfluous. However they seem to be deeply intertwined with our anthropology. ⁠
⁠
Most cultures around the world have a long history with floral adornment going back to ancient times. Flowers must have been jewelry for our ancestors, especially for ceremonies.⁠
⁠
Could it be encoded in our DNA to wear flowers?⁠
⁠
⁠
I always feel the connection to my ancestors when foraging and then making a crown. ⁠
⁠
Are there any activities you do that give you the feeling your grandmothers are surrounding you? I would love to know. ⁠

Leaving The Halo partially exposed is a beautiful thing. With traditional flower crown making the wire, tape and glue are not as attractive as this sleek band and brass button. You get a much cleaner look with The Halo. Not to mention the vast versatility and possibility of design.⁠⠀

I rest my case with this easy medusa crown!⁠⠀

Just sayin hi and wishing you a heart filled weekend. ⁠⠀

With all the anxiety and depression inducing things happening on our planet right now, it's essential that we disconnect from our screens and connect with nature and fellow humans. Get some sun on your skin or sit next to a tree that you love. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We can do this, lovely people. Don't forget to breathe.⁠ (Note to self)
