With Valentine’s Day almost upon us, the pressure to have, or find, that perfect someone is on - as is the pressure to buy something yet again (didn’t we just have Christmas?).

Last night, my true love fell asleep by my feet during an EcoMom Alliance Board of Directors meeting. At first I was annoyed that my schedule had shifted thus that he would be there while I was trying to get business done. Somehow, "Mom? Mom. Mom!" just isn’t conducive to budget discussions, and certainly, there were moments that tested my patience. But when push came to shove, and I looked down at his pure, little face and his tiny head resting peacefully on a cushion by my chair, I felt so utterly blessed and reminded of what true love is really all about.

I hope you feel this purity of love in your life and if decide you just have to buy something this Valentine’s Day for your special someone, make sure to order from Organic Bouquet. Founded by eco-entrepreneur Gerald Prolman, Organic Bouquet is the market leader in organic flowers
and recognized in the trade as having established the organic floral sector.

Their flowers are
available online and in natural food stores,
including Whole Foods Markets nationwide and with no toxic chemicals, you can breathe in their heady aroma without fear or eco-angst. Check out their giant roses too. Just pure, simple, organic bliss. Kind of like Corbin.

Other options include California Organic Flowers Family Farm
and Diamond Organics but I’m a very loyal person and I’ve known Gerald since he was just beginning and he sponsored an event I co-produced for World Environment Day.
