Sometimes the universe gives you a little wink — and today, I got mine.

I was sitting down creating my vision board, imagining all the beautiful things coming my way in 2025: my book Flower Energy releasing on St. Patrick’s Day, the excitement of seeing it on shelves at Target, Walmart, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retailers; my upcoming collaborations with Fairmont Hotels for a traveling Flower High Tea Book Tour; and the possibility of joining QVC this spring to share the energy of flowers with the world.

As I cut out images of greenhouses, wallpapers, gardens, and chandeliers — visualizing the next chapter of my dream life — I picked up the October / November 2025 edition of Southbay Magazine. I started flipping through the glossy pages for inspiration.

And then… on page 107, I stopped. Something caught my eye.

It was Magical Blooms — my flower shop! — featured as one of the favorite go-to spots in town for High Tea.

I hadn’t been interviewed, I hadn’t submitted anything — they simply featured us organically in the “SOFFI Spotlight,” a curated list by Soffi Yessmann, who shares her favorite care moments and thoughtful experiences around the South Bay.

It was one of those magical, full-circle moments.
Here I was, dreaming of being featured in magazines around the world — and I was already in one, without even realizing it.

It’s a gentle reminder that when you align with your purpose, the world starts aligning with you.

So here’s to serendipity, vision boards that work, and the power of believing in your own magic.

With love and gratitude,
