Not all of you know my Aunt Esther, but you would have loved her if you did. Of course she would have loved you too. Anytime you see kindness in me, know that a part of it is coming from her.

What I do
For the past few years for her birthday I’ve given out one rose to match her age that year. Once again I’ve asked others to participate as well, giving out roses to someone they care about, or even someone they’ve never met before and tell them it’s from Esther. With the rose I attach a note that tells what it’s all about and points them to roses.soxite.com so that I can sort of keep track of who gets a rose. 

You can give out flowers too!
If you do please tell them it’s from Esther. Here are some labels to put on them 1 sided2 sided. If nothing else please direct them to roses.soxite.com and fill it out yourself so that you can show that you gave a rose.

 

What’s new for this year
This year I did things a little differently, and it was beyond bonkers to pull off (assuming it does). In addition to the roses I give out myself, I sent 25 dozen roses (yes 300 roses) to some of my friends and family around the country so that they can share Esther’s roses with those around them. Of course, they are welcome to keep some or all of them. Special message for “The 25”.

    I’m in, and can buy my own dozen. No need for reimbursement. I’m happy to continue the tradition to honor Aunt Esther.
