Group hug anyone?

All these blogs and so little time!

Well let's connect at least - drop into the garden to receive some comments love and do bring your sense of humour / humor!

Hi from Dubai, China, U.S, Canada, England, Wales, Holland, France, Australia and India where our founders write our gardens fun and inspirational content!

All are welcome but we must warn you it's not all flowers and roses, there's plenty of thorns and crap floating around but we learn from that, like we do in life!

Where did it all start?

In Dubai we resigned from the dizzy heights of corporate as we were getting sick of the view. We wanted to see the places we’d always wanted to see and took a gamble, a journey into the unknown and time out to ask what it’s all about.

At Jim's farewell lunch the Regional President said, mid speech and post buffet...

‘We’d all love to get out of the rat race - We wish you look on your travels. Enjoy it when you smell the flowers’

At the time these words didn'’t mean alot to Jim who had previously bitten the heads of flowers rather than smelling them but as time moved on and countries were visited the phrase stayed with the couple as they joked about smelling the flowers.

Emma was adamant that Jim ’smelt the flowers’ and they did exactly that and are now writing up their travels whilst back in the Rat Race!

What started with a seed of a static website sprouted into a blog that bloomed into an online community with a difference!

GO! Smell the flowers aims to inform, entertain and enlighten people from all over our increasingly smaller world.

Why wait until you’re dead and pushing up flowers from the grave? Life is too short and we endeavour to inspire people and help them discover their reason to be and be the best they can or at least think about what they can change in their life for the better…..who doesn'’t want that?

Some of us need to make changes in our life and post comments on our blog which we've designed to ensure you have one journey and many discoveries along the way.

We took the leap and took time out, we needed to and still induldge from time to time :0)

Maybe a change in YOUR life is due? It could be a career break, drinking and eating less, starting a new hobby, spending more time with the kids, saying ‘no’ more or discovering the merits of a group hug. GO! Smell the flowers is not just a cue to head off around the world but making changes for the better to hep you people realise their dreams. What about having the courage to write that book you'’ve always wanted to?

We are giving it a GO! and writing up our adventures…. THAT book we’ve always wanted to get round to writing…

OK, big deal, we took the time out to smell their flowers and are sharing their story but what about you? Are you already smelling your flowers? Then great - become an honourary flower smeller - send GO! Smell the flowers your 500 word account of how you got to GO! Smell the flowers and if it’s inspirational they’ll feature you in The Flower smellers section on thier blog…..Maybe you know other flower smellers who are an inspiration to you? Let’s hear about them!

How do I get involved? Just hook up to us through Blogcatalog and get involved!

So Let's all have a group hug (preferably clothed..although...), blog and be happy to live longer, feel stronger, reach higher and smell more flowers or just stay in bed and feel sorry for yourself.

Your choice. Or blog in bed! Best of both worlds? Either way strive to be happy...that's the general idea.

GO! Smell the flowers
Welcome to our garden and watch out for the thorns!
