S P R O U T
Given the right conditions, seeds have the ability to lie dormant for years. But as soon as they're planted, nourished and surrounded by the nutrients that are necessary for growth, they begin to sprout.
R O O T
Once sprouted, seeds begin to take root. Roots grow by attaching themselves to a greater or more fundamental whole, which provides them with support that helps establish them deeply and firmly.
F L O U R I S H
Once rooted, plants begin to flourish. As the result of being in a healthy environment, they grow in a vigorous way, developing rapidly and successfully, they begin to thrive.
Flour·ish /fləriSH/ verb.
1 To grow or develop in a healthy or vigorous way, as the result of being in a particularly favorable environment.

My daily life was filled with great people and relationships but no one quite understood my big dreams and the ins and outs of making those big dreams become a reality. Inside, I have found like minded creative people that understand exactly what I am going through and are always willing to listen, lift and encourage. "

"Fundamental to the well being of makers and those who bring creativity in their daily lives, is the need to connect with like-minded creatives - to be a part of a community that laughs, forgives, supports, inspires and teaches. Bonnie's membership is that place - a virtual respite and learning center ... a familiar place that validates creativity and reinforces both the tangible and intangible tools we all need to continue on our maker journey."
Sharon Rego
"This membership brought a whole new world into my vision. Being a graphic designer in a totally different arena, I had no idea how much I have been missing until I stumbled upon the membership. It's ignited a passion that truly brings love and meaning into my life learning this process. Nearing retirement, feeling this venue will keep my creative mind working a long time...a new hobby or career. Flourish provides comfort, yet pushes one to step out of the comfort zone to expand one's self-imposed limits to conquer the fear factor. The support and resources from the membership are truly phenomenal."

She and her tribe are so incredibly positive and supportive! I always feel safe to share ideas, ask for inspiration or share my challenges in this beautiful group. Flourish is also a fantastic resource for inspiration. Whenever I am feeling stuck creatively, a visit to the membership helps to perk me up & draws the creativity out of me in such a positive and lovely way. I will forever be a member. ♥"
