You never know when or where you will meet interesting people!! Jan and I attended the Chicago Half Marathon Expo a few weeks ago. As we were exploring the booths I came across a colorful booth with two dynamic women chatting with fellow runners.
I learned they created a group called Fellow Flowers.
Their mission: Friendship + Running = Transformation.
A dream becomes a goal when you say it out loud. It becomes a plan when you write it down. It becomes your Anthem when you embody it and accept its presence as your destiny.
Bloom, baby. Bloom.
They wear flowers in their hair as a reminder of their mission.

They have a rainbow of colors to choose from for your flower. I choose Red.
"Red=Love, Passion, Commitment and Spirit. Caring for the world around you. Bringing it-every damn day. It takes STRENGTH to do what you love."
This is so me! At least the ME I strive to be :)
Check out their website for inspiration and more information.
