In my floriculture work, I give and receive Love through caring for flora and fauna.

ABOUT
MY STORY
Beginnings
I came into this life marvelling at our bountiful Earth Mother’s dreamscape of extraordinary flora and fauna.
With the spirit of flowers in my heart, I was encouraged at a very early age to begin my mission on the wave of live brought on by the world of flowers.
A toddler in a canoe with mom and dad on the clear sparkling waters of Lake Kakagi, Ontario, Canada, the awe of water lilies, frogs and dragonflies caught my eye.
Joy spread through my being.
I lived skimming my fingers on the warm mirrored bay communing with the lily pads, the fish beneath and choruses of bubbles rising to the twinkling surface.
All of my senses peaked.
The fauna, I noticed, seemed to be watching over, and gladdened me to move forward in this earthly wonderland.
A long auburn haired child with green eyes, a kind of knowing swirled in my head as I looked into the glossy tulips with macro vision in mom’s garden.
“If only I could be tiny Thumbelina and fall in love with a flower prince.”
I gathered my first colourful bouquet.
I didn’t want to pick them all, and so I chose one here and one there in a grand patch of purple violets.
My little hands held dozens.
Fully in profundity, a small voice whispered, “Give them to mom.”
That’s when Mother’s Day became everyday.

I asked my grandmother, “Where is Jesus?”
In less than a beat, she said, “He is in you. He is all around us.”
Euphoria filled my chest.
It made sense to me during the conversations I had with the swallows, stick bugs and Pineapple weed Matricaria discoidea.
Here I was, a young girl, feeling the magnitude of Peace from Grandmother’s words because I knew He was always there.
I knew then that The Way to Him was through the heart, especially when falling in love with a flower.

Later
A chaplet of daisies appeared on my path one day.

This surprise gift took me back to the young girls days of making crowns of clover blossoms and the cherished daisy ritual:
The anticipation of pulling petals from a daisy one by one awaiting the answer born on the last petal,
“He loves me.
He loves me not.
He loves me.
He loves me not.
He loves me!”
(PHOTOS 1. A daisy a day with pearl bracelet 2. New daisy emerging)
Spirits of nature never escape my awareness, my peripherals, my olfactory, my touch and exchange of thoughts and feelings.
I shall never exist without loving our Mother’s beauty.
I speak with the bir, the butterflies, birds and toads.
I sit and breath against the trees, feeling their energy course up through my centre.
I innerstand them all and how they make up our world.
I learn their secrets and their teachings while sharing fellowship with them.
I have brought back to life a bee and a butterfly.
What a dazzling synapse between the winged and a garden of flowers.
How my story evolved into my missionary flower art
MASTER FLORIST
Together with my mom, the doors of our flower shop, FLowers by Timeless, Ltd., in Western Springs, Illinois burst open with the love of flower power.
Eleven wonderful part-time florist employees stayed with us for years. We cherished the friendships we made together and with our clients.
My passion for flowers and plants spilled out into arrangements and landscaping, personalizing every request.
For me, it was a delight to design a one-of-a-kind for everyone, friends-to-be, souls to remember.
The shop was transitioned to a new steward in 2001 when I chose to raise my family in Nova Scotia, Canada, the ocean playground where the sea meets the pristine landscape, and where my flower work ever continued.
SOVEREIGN GARDENER
Growing small and vast verdant landscapes for over four decades is a tending of the heart on land.
Ever driven to see the world as a terrestrial paradise, I take great care balancing gardens with ecosystems while my hands dig, plant and transplant.
A sovereign gardener, I actively participate in the Royal Law of Nature.
Human touch must follow the already perfectly balanced conditions.
It is the foundation of a garden’s welfare.
The knowledge of growing lush “living paintings” is so important that I practically hear the grass growing.
My family’s bred peonies are centuries old, reborn anew lifetime after lifetime in my soils.
The breeding of lilies and roses, too, are in my blood.
I greet every plant and micro-organism, every rock and mineral and every winged and four-legged with reverence.
Daily, I give thanks to God for gracing us with beauty and teaching us to live as one.
In return, I witness the performance of Eden.
FLORICULTURIST
In my floriculture work, I give and receive love with raising precious, “newlings”.
It is most important to always consider this aspect of husbandry.
Whether growing under a greenhouse dome, indoors or out on the land, I cannot but talk to plant, animal and mineral kingdoms.
They respond to our love and flourish with our gentle touch.
Water pours forth to my seeds and maturing plants from my hands of prayer and thanksgiving.
I love offering the greatest potentials for others to enjoy: seeds, plants and knowledge.
Raising my eyes to Sun, I thank God for All that is, to be experiencing the life I love, and nurturing that which brings happiness to all peoples and all creatures.
REVERENT LINGUIST FOR FLOWERS
The Peace Rose has an exalting message. “Remain steady with the Prince of Peace.”
The Rose stands reverently in the plant kingdom as the divine feminine.
Her degree translates to the moratorium of harmony and tranquility on Earth.
She is the poet in the grand theatre of Eden.
The promenade of flowers all across the lands have much to convey.
They all draw in my eyes, heart and olfactory, and cause an irrefutable communication with something greater than we.
I hear and feel the spectacular effluence of flowers.
It is here where I share their blessings of illumination in words of grace.
With their portraitures I capture in my photography, I share these outpouring messages.
Listening to them since childhood, learning their words of healing and wisdom is a transference into language and the bottles of liquid light in my Flora Chymistry.
FLORA CHYMIST
Always have I nestled right into the grangrant and velvety-incandescent layers of a rose.
It is common to see me engrossed in my work while holding a fragrant flower to my nose.
Rainbow droplets of sun resting on petal edges exude liquid light vibration.
These light charged droplets are pure harmony and create healing properties found in my bottled chymistry.
(PHOTO – white rose banner with water droplets)
Delicate essences and elixirs are filled with odysseys of living blooms.
All glass vessels are infused with the power of the Sun‘s life giving energy.
They contain restorative colour vibration, immemorial fragrance, and create new memories to nurture a world of Peace.
Like a mother’s gentle voice, the bottles of flora are exquisite symphonies.
PHOTOGRAPHER
I made my first camera, a pinhole camera in grade three.
The exposure time was perfect for the image I captured and printed, a vase of flowers on a rock.
In grade five, I was fortunate to get a taste of learning darkroom basics.
From photography courses in high school and university, to working in photo labs, shooting my studio settings, and being in nature, it has been flowers, plants, pollinators, birds, sky and water subjects that ever grow in my work.
Expressed in my photos are glorious portraits of flora and fauna, and the effluence they wish to share in a language of flowers revealed to me to pass on to you.
MISSION
May the whole Earth Mother become a Garden of Eden
May all of us be seeds in this Glory.
May we all live as God intended:
Sovereign
Peaceful
Loving Beings
and
May we always tend our gardens with hearts wide open.
