Jane Canty said… - Hi Lisa, nice to hear from you.My eldest daughter is a florist too. She was lucky she did her apprenticeship in Nimes with a Dutch woman who does really outstanding stuff..not just your average bouquet wrapped in celophane..the bouquets are usually wrapped in flowers or leaves. Anyway the Dutch woman turned out to be a cow from hell and there I'm really being polite Lisa. When my daughter fell pregnant with her first baby, the boss took the toilet seat off the toilet so she couldn't sit down when she went to the loo!! She is like you, she loves flowers and really enjoys her job but she is still on maternity leave from her second baby. The problem now is in France, in florist shops you have to work such long hours and she would never see the two girls so I don't think she will carry on with it? It's such a shame as she really is gifted. I hope your business really takes off Lisa, sounds exciting,I wish my daughter could do something like that. When you're site is up and running, I'll show it to her.
The Reiki forum was a good idea wasn't it? Not too many people posting at the moment though but then it's early days yet lol. That's great that you aea a Master Lisa, don't know if I'll ever get that far..would love too. I see also that you do Crystal therapy, that must be really interesting, I wouldn't mind finding out more about that. My problem is I have got a really bad short term memory. I had chemotherapy for colon cancer 4 years ago and ever since my memory is terrible. I'm sure I'd never remember everything to remay it all back to someone lol
I will probably bombard you with questions on Reiki at some point Lisa. I've been talking to the other Jane on the Reiki forum...forgotten her surname, she's a lovely lady and is a master practitioner like you. Let me know how your new business venture takes off, sending you positive vibes.
Jane xx

- Hi Lisa, I only know the French people that I did my reiki attunement with, I just happened to make acomment yesterday on a thread about doing Reiki and everyone's appearing lol. It's great to have this new group isn't it? I warn you ;) I probably will be calling on you for advice as I'm only a newbie. What stage are you at Lisa ?
