(with guest Michaela Buhrman of Black Squirrel Flowers)   I am thrilled to share with you my friend Michaela Buhrman.  Michaela is a farmer florist and in our show we go into why she did not just become a farmer who grows flowers, arguably her favorite thing to grow, but a farmer florist.   A person who starts the seeds, grows the flowers in a way that is in alignment with her values and then takes those flowers and creates beautiful bouquets to bring joy into our homes.  I can completely relate to her desire to be part of the entire process from start to finish. And I'll bet you can too.  By having a hand in the entire process she has a deeper connection and knowledge of all the different flowers that she's growing and selling. Getting to know each bloom and how it thrives, gives her more instinct when it comes to arranging flowers for sale...allowing for a bouquet that simply thrives.   And that just sounds like magic to me.  Michaela doesn't just grow things...she sews her own clothes, cans her own food and has been known to pick up paper and pencil and draw enchanting things. I've been watching Michaela grow her business in this really thoughtful way for awhile and I wanted to share that with you.  When there's a new idea for her business or a new offering, she slowly brings that in to make sure that she's not overwhelming what she's capable of doing well or overwhelming her sense of balance in life. A lesson, I love to be reminded of...often! Have a listen!  One of the joys of listening to other people's stories, is that we get to connect with another human and also pull little tidbits from their way of living into our lives that are going to help increase our vibrancy.  How fun!
