CEO's Corner 

The month of May is one my favorites. It's getting warmer, everything is turning green, and the outdoors is coming to life!  I think that is why Mothers Day is always in May.  It's such a good fit.

Mother's day is a time to show your appreciation for all she has done for you.

Whether you are able to celebrate in person, or you are able to pause and reflect back on all the positive things your mother has given you.  For many, your mother will always be the person who most influenced your life.  That is definitely something to celebrate.

I would also like to see a "Best Friends Day".  I wonder why that has not come about yet. Best friends should be recognized in much the same way.  They are just positioned in a different time in one's life, usually after your mother is no longer involved in your day-to-day living.  Best friends step in and provide incredible support to us.  They are there in the good times and in the bad times.  They will do whatever they can to help you. They believe in you, encourage you, and are there for you.  That is an incredible thing, and something worth celebrating too.

So, whoever your best friend may be, show them your appreciation. If it's your mother...celebrate twice, she deserves it!

The month of May is a reminder for appreciating all who are there for us:  Friends and Family.

 May Flowers Planter
by Leslie Segrete

April Showers bring May flowers. Well, that is how the saying goes and April was indeed a very rainy month for many of us around the globe; and sure enough the garden is revealing the bright side of all that water. May is also the time of year when we celebrate another giver of life, the mothers in our lives. Though we should always remember their love, this time of year it is only befitting to spoil them with all of the love they have given us all those years. So, what do you give the person who most likely has everything? Why not spend a day with the mom in your life and create a beautiful all weather planter that will only get better with time, just like your mom.
