FLOWERS_FRIDAY EPISODE: 5

Welcome to the Fifth installment of Friday’s Flowers, where we have personal stories of black men speaking their truth about giving flowers to the ones they love.
This interview features our beloved brother, Danny Stone w/ Jay Martin.
We are ready to give you your flowers.
In every sense of the word, this is what matters right NOW.
We need to be a part of something bigger than ourselves, like Danny Stone said in this latest installment, to feel included, validated, needed, wanted, appreciated, thought of, or even just heard.
Send thoughtful notes of support to those hurting. Remember to mention the name of loved ones passed.
Look people in the eye and smile as you pass them by.
Give extra hugs and affirmations of support. Look for reasons to appreciate instead of critique.
Take a few moments away to connect with yourself, breathe deep, check in with your stress level and ability to be of service. You might need to say no to requests for your time to keep yourself healthy.
We appreciate every view, like, comment, share, or positive word spoken about Flowers and value your support. This support keeps my heart in full bloom.
Thank you 🌺💐🌺💐
Always remember Love is the meal. Everything else is the gravy.
Celebrating Melanated people 365.

100% we need to tell people how we feel ALL THE TIME. Because if everyone thinks that someone else is telling them, not realizing that no one is saying anything to them, then that person is left alone pushing and trying to make it without the words of encouragement from their loved ones!!!!

I so appreciate this conversation.💛 Continuously reaching out and letting people know what they mean to us... giving them their flowers before they're gone is a practice that cannot be understated in importance. Keep up the great work. Love to see it💯✊🏽
