Red, Hot Pink, Light Pink, Purplish, Fuchsia, White, sometimes Orange. Representing love, the journey you have been on with a person, and the passion you have for them. A simple gift showing your dedication to them.
It’s the name of the group I am leading on my Young Women’s Retreat—a retreat where I will show young women that they are not alone by sharing my personal story and being there for them. A retreat where all the women become closer and evolve into their true selves, or adopt a new understanding of the world. My group’s name is a symbol of the passion and love that I have for helping others. A symbol that represents my mom.
It’s my mother’s favorite, and now mine. It is my favorite because it’s hers. I always follow my mom, because she is and will forever be my inspiration. She is the person that I look up to for advice or for anything in general. She wants me to succeed more than she ever has. She will forever love me more than herself.
A peony—a flower that represents love, journey, and passion. My mother is my peony.
