The Story of the Lotus Flower

The Lotus is a beautiful flower that truly makes a statement of awe.  The beginnings of this flower are not as beautiful as many images we have in our minds.  It begins to sprout underwater usually in lakes and ponds and is surrounded by fish, insects, mud, and muck.  Despite these conditions and obstacles it maintains its strength and perseverance.  The stem slowly grows up through this to expose its pod to the sunny surface.  Then it opens each petal to finally let the inside of it experience the world in a pure bright nature and bask in all it's beautiful glory within the world.  The lotus flower might look fragile but it is secured under the surface of water which helps to keep its strength.

This flower is the perfect embodiment to me of overcoming the dark and muck of obstacles in ones life to reach the beauty, strength, and happiness one needs in their day to day life.  We all face challenges in many stages of our lives and it is up to us whether we stay below in the dark or rise above the surface to bloom.

Lotus Floral Design is the embodiment of the story of the lotus flower.  While I'm still in the early stages of growing my business and meet obstacles daily, I'm confident and committed to my goals as a floral designer and know I will reach them  As a designer, being able to work with flowers and creating customers visions that exceed their expectation makes me feel successful.  I'm ready to continue on this journey and see what life has in store for me.
