President’s Message

I want to start by wishing everyone a Happy and Prosperous Holiday season.  Our board has been busy preparing some exciting things for the region and we are getting close to sharing it all with you.  I am so grateful for some really great people who are volunteering their time to make us successful again this year.  We are dedicated to furthering the knowledge of both floral design and AIFD.  Our plan this year is to be in St. Louis for our forum this Spring so be watching for the save the date in the next couple of weeks.  I am hoping to get to see each of you there.

Mary Kay Ash once said, “Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.”  We are among an amazing group of people with extraordinary possibilities.  Many of us have great dreams and ideas and yet few of us fulfill those dreams or see those ideas come to fruition.  You may not know that Mrs. Ash started with a giftware company and our own icon of the industry Mrs. Frankie Shelton AIFD worked with and for her.  She went to Frankie one day and said I am going to open a new company and with much discouragement from many around her, did it very successfully.  You will know her simply as Mary Kay and the new company was a cosmetics brand, which was and is wildly successful.  Mary Kay could have said, “Well, I don’t really know anything about cosmetics,” or “Nobody else thinks I can do this” but rather, she stood tall and started something new and did so with a great amount of prosperity, success and fame.  You, like Mary Kay, are an amazing person and can accomplish anything you believe you can.  Take your business to new heights, create as if the world depends on it, set your sights on things bigger and greater than what you have now, and then go for it.  There are those in your life that will try and discourage you and bring you down.  They are not your friends.  Your friends are the ones who will say, “This is going to be hard, but if anyone can do it, it is you, and I will be right here by your side.”

Your South-Central board is here for you should you have any questions or concerns.  Please reach out to us and give us the chance to answer.  Keep Blooming, go out and make something beautiful today.
