Positive Petals (Resources and Encouragement)

Hello there!

If you are visiting this page, chances are you were a recipient of our positive petals!  We are so glad you stopped by because even if you don’t need any of the resources on this page, you may know of someone who does!

We all need help from others at times, AND we all may be called on TO help someone else at some point.  We ALL rely on others already, whether we are conscious of it or not.  Do you use electricity, water, have a phone, shop for groceries?  If you answered yes to any of these things, you already depend on others to help you in some form or another.  Needing help and relying on others is a part of everyday life.  🙂 Chances are someone already relies on YOU for something as well.  The important thing is to realize how important it is to reach out for help when needed and how important it is to BE THERE when someone reaches out to you.  

Our “Positive Petals” Program is an effort to provide some brightness someone may need whether it is just to lighten a mood, provide encouragement, inspire you to help someone else, or offer resources to programs which might be able to help with even deeper needs.  Whatever challenge or season of life you are facing right now, we hope that our flowers will be a bright spot of encouragement for you!
