Hello, I am Reese, Pleased to meet you

Hi there, Reese here... some of you know me as Chereese and Cherotica, but i prefer Reese, mmmm Reese...

I decided to start my own business delivering flowers because ... well JUST BECAUSE... i love spreading joy and happiness.

A few years ago, I lost my mother, and i will never get over this traumatic experience. Things have not been positive on my end. I turned to the bottle for answers, and we all know that cannot lead to anything good... So in turn, i decided to take my negative energy and try to do something positive. Last year, i started out doing saddle arrangements for headstones and memorial plaques. There were a few bumps in the road, but we made it through.

I started this business back in February, things seemed great, I managed to get a website up and running, with a paypal account, I had a great business partner, I thought.... Then things came to a grinding HALT! Our partnership didnt work out due to a messy divorce, and she just didnt have the time or energy that i did.

Luckily, I was able to find a great partner... Shammin' who my children adore!!! Things have been terribly slow and we had to cut our losses, Easter was very sad. Yesterday, i was ready to throw in the towel, then a very good friend of mine, Nicky advised me not to quit. Thank you Nicky!

This morning, when i got up, there was an e-mail in my box asking me to create an arrangement for someones grandmother's 80th birthday!!! I was honored, wow!

So, there might be some light at the end of this tunnel, someone up there just doesnt want me to give up... so i wont!
